Will the Minister confirm that we will see legislation for safe zones or buffer zones for women who are using medical facilities? Following the repeal of the eighth amendment and the enactment of legislation, we were given categorical assurance that there would be no delay in enacting legislation to allow for the safe zones, but we still do not have them. We really need them as a matter of urgency. Women need to know the Government will be on their side in facilitating them accessing what is their lawful entitlement.

I understand that legislation is due towards the end of the year, but I do not have a specific briefing.
