I wish to ask about the procedure for extraditing someone from a third country, which will include the UK next year. Such an extradition normally goes through diplomatic channels on application to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Will the Minister for Justice briefly indicate to us the new procedure that this section will provide? Will the Minister for Foreign Affairs devolve authority in order that the application can be made directly to the Minister for Justice by electronic means rather than the usual diplomatic means and the exchange of paper? Will the Minister, Deputy McEntee, give us a brief synopsis of the new process as she envisages extradition post January?
