May I begin by congratulating the Tánaiste on a very successful conference in Kerry at the weekend? I thank him and the Labour Party for generating economic activity in my constituency.

The Deputy would have been very welcome, but the transfer market is getting crowded.

Has the Deputy a question on legislation?

The Tánaiste is welcome to make the conference an annual event. My own party might consider coming back to Killarney also.

My query relates to the criminal law (sexual offences) Bill. I call for the Bill to make provision for post-release electronic tagging of sex offenders. The Government should also consider such a measure for other serious criminals, such as organised criminals and those involved in subversive activity. When will this legislation be introduced?

The proposals for the criminal law (sexual offences) Bill will be brought to the Government shortly. The Bill is expected to be published next year.
