Eric Eoin Marques was granted extradition to the US over child abuse material charges by the High Court in Dublin on 16 December 2015. The charges concern alleged conspiracy to distribute and advertise child abuse images, and advertising and distributing child abuse material.

Justice Aileen Donnelly found that the extradition request had been issued with due process and did not violate Marques' constitutional rights. His barrister indicated that the decision would be appealed, and the judge said extradition should not take place for at least 15 days to allow an appeal application.
