Sexual Offenders Registration Bill, 1998

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would require people convicted of specified sexual offences, including relevant offences committed abroad, to give the Gardaí their name, address, fingerprints and photograph, and report changes or extended stays elsewhere. Courts would decide how long the requirement lasts based mainly on the risk of reoffending; breaches could lead to fines or imprisonment, while access to the register would generally be restricted to the Gardaí.
