Protesters have gathered in the past outside maternity units and hospitals, including a protest against abortion services held outside the National Maternity Hospital in January last year. “It was originally intended to provide for safe access to termination of pregnancy services in the Health Act 2018. However, a number of legal issues were identified which necessitated further consideration.”
Donnelly said women’s healthcare and the provision of safe services for all women is a priority for him as minister. Costello said the commitment to provide these safe access zones “must be followed through” and Hourigan said the commitment to establishing safe access zones for people accessing abortion services “must be adhered to”.
In this, Donnelly said there have been a “limited number of reports of protests or other actions relating to termination of pregnancy” since 2019.
But you already shelved it
Crack on with weddings and christenings/communions/confirmations.... that's a sacred ancient right we all have and you mugs should have no say over that!!!
Riiiiiiiiight...
He's committed to his pension, nothing else.

Nope people have a democratic right to protest. Whatever their concern maybe, whether it's popular or not,we have the Gardai to attend situations that get out of hand, ie violence, other than that, he has no right to pick and choose.
