The information sought by the Deputy is set out in a table.

20042818
20056729
200612743
200717335
200819840

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.
