General Scheme of Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2018: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Ryan Henderson:
All of Deputy Wallace's points were right. We have not used it, but it is important to have this provision when faced with a recidivist and determined sex offender. Members should ask themselves what other provision could prevent that happening? I take on board the points about proportionality and necessity, but this provision is an essential part of the armoury.
