New Laws Are To Be Introduced To Make People More Aware If A Sex-Offender Is Living In Their Area
Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan says it won't be as open as the disclosure scheme in England and Wales
Sarah's Law allows anyone to formally ask the police if someone with access to a child has a record for child sexual offences.
A new report released this week revealed a total of 146 sex-criminals were being monitored last year under the Sex Offender Risk Assessment and Management Scheme.
23 were registered here in Cork, Kerry and Limerick.
Minister Flanagan says he wants to tighten up the current laws.
