The logic is flawed anyway.

The UK signed a memorandum of understanding with Ireland whereby the Garda are notified of any SO travelling  to Ireland (of course, this assumes you have notified your PPU in the UK before travelling/moving).

If you move to Ireland, you have to register with the Garda and comply with the Irish notification regulations (as does an Irish citizen moving to the UK)

I agree a very disconcerting post.  You need to follow the legal process and then escape or spend the rest of your life being chased or at least thinking you might be.  Just do what you need to and wait until your conviction is spent !

I echo what Square says. It's a case of you have made your bed and you have to lie in it. Irrespective of your own percieved risk you pose or whether you think the system is fair or balanced is irrelevant since in general life isn't fair and we have to make the best out of the cards we are dealt.

I would like nothing more than to no longer have to register or to be no longer percieved as a 'risk' to others. I know in my heart I would never want to bring harm to anyone, if anything i'm more of a risk to myself but if you take an attitude of 'i don't deserve this' 'poor old me' etc then i can guarantee you will find more obstacles in your way.

It is better to accept the harm you have caused due to your offending and work on becoming a better human being than try to run away from the problem. Some issues are more difficult to work on than others, isolation being a problem due to the stigma associated with the offence (depending on the severity as well) and the fact many people would not want to be associated with such an individual of that category. Although there are things that can be done, if you have held on to some friends or at least one family member then you are in a much better place than a total loner ie: some element of a support network. If you have work, a purpose and a vision of how you want to overcome the problems you face then that's also good, things like mental health issues for example, recognising that there might be things you need to work on and being prepared to get the help.

There's an old saying 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones' and i think that applies with what you are intending. I can think of far worse punishments such as those dished out by vigilante groups etc so having to be on a list and having a visit by a PPU officer once or twice a year whilst it might be 'inconvenient' it's small fry compared to some other ways different countries deal with this kind of offence.

I find this post a little (OK, a lot) concerning. I don't understand the thinking behind it, and to me it sounds like it is in the best case suggesting a way the circumvent justice or the legal process.
If you are on the SOR, you are on it for a reason. Your belief that it is either just or no is another matter. If you move to another country to avoid your SOR obligation and I were your PPO I would likely assess your likelihood of re offending to sky-rocket.
Most decisions made with regards to the SOR are risk based. And as much as you would like to believe 'justice' stops at the border, it doesn't. If I was a PPO or MAPA official and was aware of what you were doing I would be calling the Irish police and tell them my concerns. You would then, no doubt, be receiving visits from the Irish police.

I don't know what you have done to merit being on the SOR (and neither do I want to), or the length of your notification period, however, I would strongly suggest minimising the perceived risk.
1. Do everything you should do with regards to your legal obligations
2. Attend meetings as required
3. Attend group work
4. Don't be isolated/ a loner
5. Try to rebuild family links/ friendships
6. If you are sexually attracted to children - visit your doctor and discuss options to minimise the urges (ie. chemical 'castration')
7. Never view yourself as the victim
8. Get a job
9. Develop a health relationship

If you can prove that you are not a risk UK police will become less interest in you and there is more chance that and orders against you may get discharged.

Talking about running from your SOR requirement sounds really, really bad to me.

Does anyone know any good uses for Ireland?

I remember when I was in prison, a lot of SOs were saying they were planning to tell the cops they'd moved to Ireland (and then still live in England), so they wouldn't be bothered, and if evidence came to light that they were still living in England (e.g ATM activity), they'd put it down to an excursion to England lasting fewer than 3 days.

I wonder how they got on!

That's all illegal. But still, there is a huge swathe of our English-speaking archipelago where you're immune to the sex register, so why don't more people go there, or find ways to take advantage of it?

This thought came to me when I was on holiday in Germany for the first time since my conviction, fully aware I could go where I pleased and do what I pleased, but that restrictions would kick in again when I got back home. Then I realised I have my own little "Germany" right on my doorstep.

Isn't there a mismatch between the police's automatic unwillingness to (for example) let a child rapist live with a child in Britain, and their perfect willingness to let them go abroad and endanger foreign children? A hot potato ethic (rather than a child protection ethic) is revealed in policies like this. 

Like consolidating your debts into one monthly payment, I'm thinking I'd rather just trade my sex register punishment for a normal life in Ireland, somewhere near the border.

Best of both worlds.

Ireland is also convenient when experimenting with travel to the US, as the US customs there are on Irish soil so no dealing with the infamous American border agencies.

And there's a lot of will in the Brexit process to keep the border intangible.
