Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Material (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-06-11
============================================================

Patricia Stephenson (SD), Labour Panel

This amendment inserts new section 33A to address a critical gap in offender monitoring. Without the provision, individuals currently subject to notification requirements under the Sex Offenders Act might challenge their obligations on technical grounds when terminology changes. This amendment ensures continuous monitoring of all registered offenders without interruption, maintaining public safety while the legislative framework updates.
