In exceptional circumstances, such as an immediate risk to a person's welfare and safety, it is already possible for Gardaí to provide appropriate information regarding a sex offender to the public. Currently, this is done on an administrative basis but these arrangements are to be put on a statutory footing in a Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill which will be published next year.
