I am not identifying anyone and the matter I am referring to has actually lapsed by default. I am suggesting that there are victims in these cases and there are a large number of them. It is creating a danger to the public. People who have a long criminal record are let out on probation or on bail and the fact is that they have suspended sentences already hanging over them which are not implemented. They should be back in jail that minute. That is the law; I am not dealing with anything that is before the courts. I am stating that this is the law but we are allowing dangerous people out. We should know how dangerous they are and we should recognise the appalling damage they do.
