This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Ciaran Maguire and Sean Paul Farrell had their High Court challenge over attempted murder records adjourned on 24 July 2017. They are wanted in Northern Ireland in connection with the attempted murder of a PSNI officer and possession of explosives with intent to endanger life. The men seek Garda custody records, interview statements and details of forensic samples taken after their arrests in Donegal in June 2015.

Their applications concern claims that Gardaí failed to provide information relevant to their extradition proceedings. Ms Justice Margaret Heneghan referred the judicial review cases to Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly, who was due to consider whether to hear them alongside the extradition requests. The matter was adjourned to the following week pending that decision.
