Sean Paul Farrell's High Court challenge over an attempted murder charge was adjourned by the High Court on 24 July 2017. He is wanted in Northern Ireland in connection with the attempted murder of a police officer and possession of explosives with intent to endanger life.

The challenge concerns claims that Gardaí failed to provide custody records, statements and details of forensic samples gathered after his arrest in County Donegal in June 2015. The court referred the judicial review application to Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly, who was due to consider it alongside the extradition request. Ms Justice Margaret Heneghan adjourned the matter to the following week pending that decision.
