Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2021
Public bill · Government · Presented
The proposed changes would tighten sex offender notification rules, cutting some reporting deadlines from 7 days to 3, and letting Gardaí take fingerprints, palm prints and photographs to confirm identity. It would also give Gardaí and partner agencies more tools to assess risk, share information in serious cases, monitor some offenders electronically, and ask the courts to ban certain offenders from working with children or vulnerable people.
