The information sought by the Deputy is set out in a table.
Year | No. of warrants received by Ireland | No. of warrants issued by Ireland |
---|---|---|
2004 | 28 | 18 |
2005 | 67 | 29 |
2006 | 127 | 43 |
2007 | 173 | 35 |
2008 | 198 | 40 |
2009 | 326 | 33 |
2010 | 374 | 51 |

Section 6(6) of the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003 provides that the Central authority for the EAW shall prepare an annual report to the Oireachtas on the operation of the Act in the preceding year. In this regard, I expect that the annual report in respect of 2015 will be laid before the Oireachtas shortly.
