We all subscribe to the rehabilitative nature of the early release programme. However, we should give equal priority to the safeguarding and security of the community into which that person is released. I would probably put more weight on that than on the rehabilitative aspect. Perhaps I am wrong to do that, but it should at least be equal. I would like to think we would make this legislation as good as we can. There will still be cases which will not work out satisfactorily or as intended by the Minister, the Department or society. However, we should try to ensure a minimum level of safeguards. Consultation with the victim and the local gardaí is an important and valuable component of the process of early release.
