In October 2006 he submitted a written Parliamentary Question to the Minister for Justice to know when a convicted paedophile would be released from prison. The question asked when the person would receive early release - "To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a prisoner (details supplied) will be eligible for early release". Breen said that he was seeking information on behalf of his constituent, that he was not advocating early release.
