No but people can be more vigilant, which is what happens when there is a spate of any type of crime in a community, be it burglaries, cars being broken into etc etc and that's without getting into physical crimes, like assaults, rapes etc.
Of course there is consideration given but how will revealing his location make people safer? Are all the women in the area going to start carrying guns?
My point still stands that people should have a right to know if their next door neighbour is a potential threat to their family and there is are very few people who would welcome Larry Murphy to their community or who would not want to know if he is their new next-door neighbour.
Where are the rights of the ordinary citizen in this case?
If the government and judiciary did their jobs properly there would be no need for a mob mentality. All ordinary people want to is be able to live their lives in peace and safety.

You can be vigilent anyway without knowing who is living there.
That is not what happens in reality and you know it. It's not human nature to be on high alert all the time.

This is a good point. How much confidence does the citizen have in the judiciary in Ireland? It would be interesting to have a survey on this. Surely we should be able to say we have resounding confidence in them, and if we can't say this, then our elected legislators should take action on our behalf to make sure we can have confidence in them and our institutions of state.
Why on earth would that be a good idea? Get "the mob" onto him?
Never a good idea.
Complainer and mpsox.Nice to know civil rights are alive and well. You should maybe think about the victim first.It is a pity that his victim is not on here to give her opinion.I am not judging MR Murphy on allegations, but on what was already proven in court.Read dockintrades post again,it makes perfect sense.Somebody somewhere said MR Murphy is ok to join the rest of us in a civilised society ,just not next door to them.If someone has to be monitored by the gardai at the end of a sentence fair enough,but allowing him four and a half years off his sentence and then having to monitor him means there is something amiss here.Demoivre I agree concurrent sentencing has to be abolished.
I think we are all living in fear of both!otherwise we will all end up living, not in fear of criminals but in fear of the state.
