If, for instance, a prisoner is taken from the UK to Ireland, and is released on to the streets of Ireland, and we find that person is not safe and commits a crime or kills somebody, where does that leave us? How can we ensure that will not happen? If the British authorities say a person is not safe and yet we cannot lock him or her up because their tariff is completed, how can we handle that issue?
