Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

We need to examine the reason we rely so much on imprisonment in regard to small matters. Temporary release of prisoners leads to issues of more resources for the Garda, community policing and investment in communities. We must look at ways of preventing prisoners from re-offending, or from offending in the first instance. I welcome the Bill.
