Persons subject to the requirements of this Part.

89.—(1) Without prejudice to subsections (2) and (3) and section 95 , a person is subject to the requirements of this Part if he or she is convicted on indictment of a drug trafficking offence after the commencement of this Part.

(2) A person is also subject to the requirements of this Part if he or she has been convicted on indictment of a drug trafficking offence before the commencement of this Part and, at that commencement, the sentence to be imposed on the person in respect of the offence has yet to be determined.

(3) If a person has been convicted on indictment of a drug trafficking offence before the commencement of this Part and, at that commencement, a sentence has been imposed on the person in respect of the offence and—

(a) the person is serving the sentence in prison,

(b) the person is temporarily released under section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act 1960 , or

(c) the sentence is otherwise still in force or current,

the Circuit Court, in the circuit where the person ordinarily resides or has his or her most usual place of abode, may, on application to it in that behalf by a member of the Garda Síochána not below the rank of superintendent, order that the person shall be subject to the requirements of this Part if it considers that the interests of the common good so require and that it is appropriate in all the circumstances of the case.

(4) An application under subsection (3) may be made within a period of 2 months, or such longer period as the Circuit Court may permit, of the commencement of this Part.
