I am informed by the Garda authorities that 1,091 persons were subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sex Offenders Act, 2001, as of 15 February, 2008. I am further informed that, for operational reasons, it is not the policy of An Garda Síochána to provide a break down of persons subject to the requirements of the Act. While offenders are required to make certain notifications, there is no "signing on" requirement at Garda stations.
