What is Irelands extradition policy towards the US in cases involving murder?
Seagull is correct, there are a few criteria, in general, that Ireland have for extradition. There is a possibility that there are special agreements between certain countries, but I don’t know enough about it to get in to that. For Ireland to honour the extradition: The death penalty must not apply to the offense that the individual committed. The individual must be charged with an offense that is punishable by a jail term of at least one year – This sentence must apply to both Ireland and the country they committed the offense in. Ireland will not extradite individuals for investigation purposes, or for reasons linked to a political offense.
