On Senator Tuffy's proposal, Senators will be aware that subsection (2) sets out the considerations which the Minister must take into account in deciding whether to grant temporary release for one of the purposes set out in subsection (1). Subsection (2)(d) provides that the Minister should have regard to the potential threat to the safety and security of the public should a person be released from prison. As I stated on Second Stage, the latter provision was amended following discussions in Dáil Éireann. This now also includes a reference to the potential threat to the safety and security of the victim of the offence. The safety and security of the victim of the offence to which the sentence of imprisonment being served relates is a statutory matter which can be taken into account. This consideration as a matter of law must be taken into account by the Minister.
