As the Deputy may be aware, Ireland is a party to the European Convention on Extradition 1957. Under this Convention, Ireland will extradite its own citizens to another party country that will extradite its citizens to Ireland.

Ireland has bilateral extradition treaties with the US and Australia.

Ireland does not currently have an extradition treaty with the United Arab Emirates and there are no plans at this point to negotiate such a treaty.
