Declan Duffy’s early release licence was suspended over false imprisonment and violent disorder charges linked to Dublin, in a report on 4 February 2017. The case was expected to proceed at Dublin’s Special Criminal Court later that year.

The licence suspension followed Duffy’s arrest in the Republic. A PSNI spokesman confirmed that a European Arrest Warrant had been issued for his extradition to Northern Ireland. His case was to be reviewed by the Independent Sentence Review Commissioners, who would decide whether to revoke or reinstate the licence.

Duffy had been held on remand in Cloverhill Prison since the charges arose. The reported allegations concerned false imprisonment and violent disorder in the Saggart area of Dublin.
