Charlie Flanagan intends to introduce new laws to make people more aware if a sex-offender is living in their area.
He says it won't be as open as the disclosure scheme in England and Wales, called Sarah's Law but it ill allow anyone to formally ask the police if someone with access to a child has a record for child sexual offences.
A new report released this week revealed there are 43 'high-risk' sex offenders living in the community.
