Man convicted of dangerous driving causing death in UK facing extradition
Summary
A 34‑year‑old Dublin man, Stephen James O'Reilly, was brought before the High Court on 26 November 2013 to consider an extradition request from the United Kingdom. The UK has issued a European Arrest Warrant for him, seeking to have him complete a nine‑year sentence for dangerous driving that caused a death, which he received in 2008. O'Reilly was not represented at the hearing; the judge advised him to obtain a lawyer and explained that he could be entitled to free legal aid if he could not afford one. He expressed that he could not return to the UK and became emotional. The court noted concerns about his safety, including a risk of self‑harm, and remanded him in custody until 10 December 2013. The hearing was conducted by Mr Justice John Edwards, with Ann Marie Lawlor BL representing the State and Detective Sergeant Mark O'Neill presenting evidence of the warrant and the revocation of his licence.
