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

Robert Duffy appeared before the High Court in Dublin on 20 April 2022 over a Northern Ireland extradition request alleging breach of his early-release terms.

Duffy is serving a life sentence imposed by the Central Criminal Court in 2008 after pleading guilty to attempting to murder Colin O’Neill at a Dundalk bar on 10 March 2007.

The extradition warrant alleges that Duffy breached the terms of his release under the Good Friday Agreement; the judge adjourned the case, which was due back before the court later that month.

This case may have concluded differently. The outcome has not yet been confirmed by a public source we could find.
