I move amendment No. 10:

In page 13, to delete lines 23 to 28 and substitute the following: “(iv) the address of each other place (if any), whether in or outside the State, at which, on the date on which the notification is given, he or she resides or regularly stays, and

(v) the address of each other place (if any), whether in or outside the State, at which the person has resided or regularly stayed since the date on which he or she was convicted of the offence concerned.’.”.”.

This amendment ensures offenders who were convicted outside the State are subject to the same notification requirements on entering the State as offenders who were convicted here. This subsection aligns the obligations of those convicted outside the State to notify An Garda Síochána of their name, address, and date of entry to the State within three days with those of offenders convicted within the State. The purpose of the amendment is to oblige offenders coming into the State to notify An Garda Síochána of all their previous addresses since their conviction of the relevant offence. An Garda Síochána would have this information for those convicted within the State as these individuals would have been notifying gardaí of this information since their conviction. This amendment is at the request of An Garda Síochána to make sure offenders coming into the State, who were convicted outside the State, are subject to the same requirements.
