A 37-year-old man was today, Friday 11th April, extradited from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland, where he is sought to stand trial for offences of possession of child pornography and sexual communication with a child. 
The offences occurred in the Wexford area in 2021.
The man was arrested in Northern Ireland on 20th August, 2024, by officers from the Police Service’s International Policing Unit, and today has completed the proceedings with his successful extradition to the Republic of Ireland.
Sergeant Davey, from the Police Service’s International Policing Unit, said: “Today’s extradition demonstrates our continued and effective working with An Garda Síochána to locate, arrest and extradite persons wanted in either jurisdiction.
“Our message is clear that Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for anyone trying to avoid arrest or the consequences of their actions. We will relentlessly pursue anyone trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
