Ireland does not, at present, have an extradition treaty with Brazil. Following contact with the Brazilian authorities in recent times it has been agreed that Ireland and Brazil will commence negotiations on a bilateral extradition treaty. It has also been agreed that, pending the conclusion of the treaty, the two countries would accept extradition requests from each other on the basis of reciprocity.
