HC Deb 01 March 1996 vol 272 cc729-30W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if the arrest of Miss Rita O'Hare is still sought; and what attempts have been made to extradite her from the Irish Republic. [17099]

Sir Patrick Mayhew

The arrest warrant for Ms O'Hare is still outstanding and has not been withdrawn.

The Royal Ulster Constabulary made a request to have Ms O'Hare extradited from the Republic of Ireland. However, she successfully relied on the political offence defence and won her case against extradition in the High Court in Dublin in March 1978.
