Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Penal Reform: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Vivian Geiran:
The one area I would suggest is that the Criminal Justice (Community Sanctions) Bill, which was published some time back, would ultimately replace the Probation of Offenders Act 1907, which has served us well for around 110 years. It has stood the test of time. It would be worthwhile modernising that legislation in a community sanctions Act eventually.
