The background to this Bill is the case mentioned by the Minister of State. I do not entirely agree with Senator Henry's statement that it introduces all the elements she would like to see, because it does not. It deals with the status quo, the position as it is without the legislation, and it is establishing a statutory basis for it. In part it is designed to bring back the element of discretion for the Minister to refuse release to certain prisoners for various reasons. I urge the Minister to be cautious in this regard and not to discriminate against prisoners on the basis of the crime. I know that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform has been very critical of the media, its role in society and the way in which it can single out people. Very often the media can make pariahs of prisoners because of their crimes. Political pressure can then be applied, which is not necessarily based on the sound reasoning, that the prisoner should not be released. It is very important that there are general principles that are generally applied in terms of temporary release. As the Minister of State noted, these should be open and transparent.
