A sex offender who failed to tell gardaí his whereabouts as required by law had been living in a tent by the side of a Dublin motorway, a court heard.

Ian Bissett (38), who was once jailed for an aggravated sexual assault on a man, was spared a prison term after a judge said the circumstances of the case were almost “exceptional”.
