Select Committee on Justice and Equality
Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Denis Naughten (Roscommon-Galway, Independent) | Oireachtas source
It has taken us this long to amend that legislation and it will take us much longer to amend it again. This practice is happening. It is happening across the Irish Sea as we speak. The authorities there are trying to close off this abuse of the loophole in the legislation. My point is that as we are dealing with this legislation, now is the time to deal with this anomaly and to address it once and for all. Perhaps the Minister might think about this before Report Stage. I withdraw my amendment, with leave to reintroduce it on Report Stage. I will be bringing in my boxing gloves the next day.
