Ciaran Maguire and Sean Paul Farrell were awaiting a Court of Appeal ruling on alleged attempted murder and explosives offences, reported on 10 October 2019.

The men challenged an earlier refusal to provide Garda custody records, statements and sample details after their 2015 arrests in Donegal.

They are wanted in Northern Ireland over an alleged improvised explosive device found beneath a PSNI officer’s car in County Derry.

The Court of Appeal reserved judgment after hearing arguments about access to detention material relevant to extradition proceedings.
