HC Deb 12 June 1991 vol 192 cc594-5W
Mr. Trimble

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the persons who have been extradited for political offences since 1980(a) from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland and (b) from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland, giving the year in which the extradition occurred and indicating the outcome of the case.

Dr. Mawhinney

None. The legislation effecting extradition between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland precludes extradition for a political offence.
