Senator Terry raised a question that was central to the contributions of many speakers. She spoke of the need for victims to be protected in relation to this exercise of powers. An amendment was accepted by the Government on Committee Stage in the Dáil and I await with interest the proposal which I understand Senator Terry is formulating. I understand that she is proposing that a victim must be notified when an offender is out on temporary release. I assure Senators that the Minister is conscious of the plight of victims and of the devastating consequences of some offences.
