Seanad: North-South Co-operation on Sex Offenders: Statements (30 Nov 2010)

Dan Boyle: The best area of effective co-operation would be, as highlighted in the Minister of State's speech, between the probation services in both jurisdictions. We need a common standard on how one identifies persons as they are being dealt with in prison, and Senator O'Toole's point about the usage of the facilities that should be there for sex offenders, and how persons as and when they are...

Seanad: National Recovery Plan 2011-2014: Motion (30 Nov 2010)
