Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

7:00 pm

Brendan Daly (Fianna Fail)

Will people convicted on these charges be included on the sex offenders' list? An issue was raised with me in that regard. It concerned an individual who had been in prison on serious sex offence charges and who was released early, long before the term of his imprisonment was due to be finished. When attempts were made to check whether he was still on the list, it was impossible to obtain that information. It can only be obtained by going through senior Garda sources. Can more information be obtained about the list and whether it might be possible to obtain access to it more easily than is the case at present?
