Varadkar says government needs to ensure they are on solid ground if one is going to restrict the right to protest.
Image: Sam Boal Image: Sam Boal TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said the government has run into “real difficulties” around legislating for exclusion zones at GP surgeries.
“While we all abhor and disagree with the protests being carried out – at least, most of us do – we enter a difficult space in a democracy when we decide that certain opinions cannot be held and certain types of protests cannot happen.” It had been envisaged that the legislation for exclusion zones would be rolled at the same time as abortion services on 1 January.
“This is not acceptable. We were promised legislation on exclusion zones, we were told it would be a priority, and here we are close to the Easter recess and we still have no idea when we will see this legislation.
