Eric Eoin Marques loses appeal over child pornography charges

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

Eric Eoin Marques lost his Supreme Court appeal against extradition over alleged child pornography offences on 20 March 2019.

The court held that the Minister for Justice had adequately explained the decision to extradite him and was not required to obtain the Director of Public Prosecutions’ reasons for declining an Irish prosecution.

The judgment records an allegation that Marques organised an online site facilitating access to pornographic images involving children from Dublin. It does not determine his guilt on those allegations.
