The purpose of the amendment is, instead of using the term "such a temporary period", to make it clear that the legislation includes periods within that temporary period. The case of a prisoner being released on a day to day basis, for example, to take up a job, but being required to return to the prison in the evening would be clearer in the legislation if the amendment was accepted. This matter also arose in the Dáil but the Minister's response was that it was not necessary to insert this wording. However, why not spell it out so that the intention of the legislation is clear?
