Deputy Catherine Byrne
asked the
Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform
his views on electronic tagging for those granted bail; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
[21558/09]
Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern):
As the Deputy is aware, in January of this year I announced the establishment of a Project Board, led by the Probation Service, to examine the implementation of electronic monitoring in this jurisdiction including electronic monitoring as a condition of bail provided for in the Criminal Justice Act, 2007. The Project Board has commenced its examination which includes the cost and viability of introducing a pilot phase and I expect to receive their recommendations later this year.
