I have been informed by the Garda authorities that at present, a record of all persons subject to the notification requirements under Part 9 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2006 is maintained by the Garda National Drugs Unit, Dublin Castle and that arrangements are being put in place for such records to be maintained on a Divisional / District basis.

All persons subject of the requirements of Part 9, Criminal Justice Act, 2006 are monitored in accordance with the provisions of the Act and arrangements are being made for a Garda Inspector, in every Garda Division, to be nominated with responsibility for the monitoring of such persons, to ensure compliance by such persons within their Divisions.

I am further informed that as at 23 June, 2009 there are 770 persons subject to the requirements of Part 9, Criminal Justice Act, 2006.
