Mentally ill killers will be released from Irish prisons | Irish News | IrishCentral: "New Irish laws signed by President Mary McAleese last will allow criminals with mental illnesses to be released back in to the community.
They will be released from the Criminal Mental Hospital under strict conditions.
The Irish insanity laws were amended on December 22 after complaints from the Mental Health (Criminal Law) Review Board. They believe that a small number of patients are suitable for release.
The amendment to the law may made in 2006 means that the board will now have power to enforce conditions on the patients such as taking their medication after their release. Those patients being reviewed are people who were found not guilty due to insanity."
