Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Act 2024

The Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Act 2024 (Act No. 13 of 2024; previously Bill No. 54 of 2023) is an Act of the Oireachtas (Irish parliament) which establishes safe zones around abortion clinics with a radius 100 metres.

Background

Abortion was legalised in 2018 in Ireland through a referendum.

Abortion access remained difficult due to harassment, illegal tactics and a culture of shame related to abortion with a number of unregulated services providing false services.

The Dáil passed the bill in November 2023. The Seanad passed the bill in May 2024.
