Questions (180)

Finian McGrath

Question:

180. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality her views on whether the ad hoc parole board ought to be placed on a legislative footing; her views on whether persons from a victim of crime should be represented on the board; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I understand the Deputy has asked this Question previously of my predecessor. The position remains unchanged. I will bring proposals forward to Government for a statutory Parole Board when I have considered the recommendations of the Group carrying out a strategic review of penal policy and in that context will bear in mind the Deputy's suggestion on victim representation. I expect the Group to report shortly.
