French woman wanted for allegedly abducting her 16-year-old son is granted bail

Summary

A French woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was granted bail at the High Court in Dublin while facing an extradition application. She was arrested last week by gardai on foot of a European arrest warrant issued in France for allegedly abducting her 16-year-old son. TDs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly were present at the hearing. The State objected to the bail application, and Sergeant James Kirwan expressed serious concerns that the woman posed a flight risk. The woman is expected to contest the extradition application. Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly offered two alternatives for securing bail: either her own bond of €75,000 or her own bond of €100 plus an independent surety of €75,000. The judge remanded the woman in custody, with consent to bail, until January 11th next year. The matter remains at the charge or pretrial stage, with no final determination on the extradition request yet made.
