‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - European Convention on Terrorism. Extradition following Supreme Court decisions
Summary
Birmingham asked whether extradition would continue regardless of developments before 1 December; Lenihan agreed that court interpretations had helped make it a reality, and the Chair moved to Priority Questions.
The Minister quoted from the Taoiseach's speech at Bodenstown, especially from the passage which indicated the Taoiseach's belief that there would be many people hesitent about agreeing to extradition unless various things happened. Will the Minister confirm to the House that the factual situation is that, as a result of a series of Supreme Court decisions, extradition is now a reality and will continue, irrespective of what is done between now and 1 December?
