A man will lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court today against a High Court order for his extradition to Britain where he is wanted on a murder charge.
In the High Court yesterday morning, Mr Justice Michael Peart ordered that Jason Brady (25), of Cushlawn Drive, Tallaght, be extradited to the United Kingdom, where he is wanted in connection with the murder of Charles William Tandy in Birmingham, on December 10th, 2001.
Later yesterday, Mr Brady, a paraplegic who is confined to a wheelchair due to injuries suffered in a motor crash in Ireland in 2006, secured bail from the Supreme Court pending the outcome of his appeal. The State consented to bail.
Mr Brady's extradition is sought in relation to a number of charges, including that he trespassed on a technology building in Birmingham, stole a laptop computer and, when escaping in a stolen car, drove over Mr Tandy and injured another person.
Mr Brady contested his extradition on the basis that his medical needs may not be met in a British prison. He also argued the delay in issuing the warrant was prejudicial.
