Charles Flanagan (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

Would the Minister accept my contention that, in essence, post-prison supervision of sex offenders in this country is non-existent? There is no supervision once a sex offender has been released from prison. What is the current position regarding the Minister's own initiative - announced in a considerable blaze of publicity last year - to introduce electronic tagging of sex offenders? Where does that initiative stand now?
