The Deputies may know many nice people and I know many nice people, including ones I do not agree with, but when the nicest people in the world are not outside a clinic and some of the most goddamn awful people are, intimidating women and doctors and prohibiting the latter from signing up to a scheme to deliver on abortion rights for women in this country through intimidating them and their families, including at their homes, a Bill is required to have safe access zones. That means that a person could protest outside a premises in, for example, Galway and may get a warning from the Garda and, a day later, a week later or a month later, he or she could protest outside a premises in Dublin and be apprehended by a garda, but that garda would have no way of establishing the fact that he or she had received a prior warning.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2023-11-15, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
