217. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the reason a person (details supplied) was scheduled for release back into society on 24 September 2020 when they were still believed to be homicidal, is facing charges of sexually assaulting two women and is charged with threats to kill two persons one being their mother.
