FG call for laws on access to sex offenders’ details

PREDATORY sex offenders might consider Ireland a safe haven following a British scheme which allows concerned parents access “soft” information on suspected abusers.

The fear that British child sex abusers could turn their sights on Ireland was expressed by Fine Gael last night.

TD Charlie Flanagan called for legislation here amid concern communities are unable to access sufficient details about locals who work, socialise or play with their children.
