Note: The statistics in respect of the years 1978-1982 (inclusive) regarding persons extradited from Ireland to Great Britain relate to the year in which the warrant was received and not to the date of extradition. Due to a change in the way in which statistics are compiled from 1983 onwards, there may be some slight element of duplication in some of the figures in the first column above.
