That is not my interpretation. If the risk is identified, whether the person decides to leave a house, disappear or move away, the risk is still there. There is still an opportunity for the Garda to make the person aware of what it was going to make him or her aware of in the first instance. It is meant to be set out in the legislation. If a risk is identified, that information will be provided to the person where the Garda feel there is a risk or threat.

It goes back to the original amendment. If somebody goes to ground or does not register, he or she is in breach of the law and is facing a potential jail term. There is quite a severe penalty. It is not as though there is no penalty. If a person breaches the order, does not register, disappears and does not comply with the legislation, there is obviously a severe penalty.
