Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Second Stage.
The amendment moved in the Dáil, which I outlined earlier to Senators, deals with the considerations the Minister must take into account in deciding whether to grant temporary release. The section has been amended to include a reference to the potential threat to the safety or security of the victim of the offence to which the sentence of imprisonment being served relates as a further consideration. Senators may wish to develop further ideas on this matter on Committee Stage and I will examine them with interest.
