Amharc ar fhreagraWhile there are no specific bilateral extradition agreements in place between Ireland and a number of countries, including China and Malaysia, arrangements are in place for the extradition of persons between Ireland and these countries.

Extradition arrangements between Ireland and other states are kept under review.
