The Sentence Review Group, the establishment of which I announced in the course of a Dáil debate on 1 December, has the task of advising me, on an ongoing basis, in relation to the administration of prison sentences in individual cases where offenders are serving long term sentences, including life sentences but excluding sentences for capital murder. My expectation is that the group should shortly be in a position to begin making recommendations to me on the individual cases which they will be reviewing.
