Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

——certain lesser offences under public order legislation and the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997, and the court considers it appropriate to impose a sentence of three months or more. A restriction of movement order may impose such restrictions as the court thinks fit including a requirement that the offender be in a specified place at a certain time. The period for which an order may be in force may not exceed six months. The court can impose a restriction of movement order and it can also impose, for the purpose of monitoring compliance with a restriction of movement order, an order for the electronic monitoring of the offender in the community. A court can only make an order for electronic monitoring if the convicted person consents to the order being made and consents to the attachment of the electronic monitoring device to his or her person.
