As Deputy Naughten said, this amendment, as worded, would not allow SORAM engagement at a later stage and I know that is not what is intended.

There is a working group in place, namely, the pre-release SORAMworking group, with members of the probation service, the Prison Service and An Garda Síochána. That is there to put in place operational procedures to help manage sex offenders once they are released. You have all of the relevant people, as mentioned, on it. Then that continues after somebody is released.
