Northern Ireland Issues.
11:00 am
Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)
We sent a reply to Colombia before Christmas. While issues are still being processed, ultimately, it will be a matter for the courts. As for the legal basis, it is difficult to see progress on it. Given all the circumstances, I cannot envisage any early resolution of an extradition case. Ultimately, however, it is a matter for the courts. We sent our position to the Colombians before Christmas and to the best of my knowledge, they are still pursuing the matter. It is still a live issue.
