Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I have conferred with the Garda Commissioner about the issue of released prisoners in this category. I will say more in that regard when and if the Supreme Court reaches a verdict on foot of today's judicial review hearing, which may also settle the legal issues relating to the validity of the continued detention of the six people I have mentioned. I will turn shortly to the substance of the Bill that the Government is bringing before the House today to correct the flaw in the law identified by the Supreme Court.
