Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

That is why I have set up a project board referrable to the probation service in respect of the specific issue raised in this question, the electronic monitoring of sex offenders. We have issued a major discussion document on the overall management of sex offenders while in prison and post-release. We have the provision for post-release orders for supervision and monitoring. The probation service is fully engaged with this. That is its job.
