Tougher laws to manage and monitor sex offenders in the community came into effect from Monday 13 November.
The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has today commenced the Sex Offenders (Amendment) Act 2023.
The Sex Offenders (Amendment) Act 2023 changes the notification requirements (“sex offenders register”) for sex offenders, provides for the court to prohibit a sex offender from working with children, and allows An Garda Síochána to disclose information relating to persons on the sex offender register where there is a serious risk to the public.
