Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 December 2005
121 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the recent contacts which have been made with the US Administration regarding its request for the extradition of a person (details supplied); if same has been raised with Dr. Condoleezza Rice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39314/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe question of an extradition request for this individual has not been the subject of contacts with the US Administration, nor was it discussed with Secretary of State Rice. However, when the person concerned was previously arrested in Northern Ireland in connection with an extradition request from the US, the US authorities were aware of the interest of the Government in the case.
As in all such cases, if an extradition request were to be received from the US or other authorities, it would of course be considered by the appropriate legal authorities in this jurisdiction.
