Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 9 September 2024
31. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs if the Government will make political representations to Greenland against the extradition of a person (details supplied) to Japan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34259/24]
View answerI am aware of the extradition case referenced by the Deputy. This is a complex legal case currently under consideration in Greenland and by the Danish authorities.
While conscious that this case is the subject of on-going legal proceedings, I have asked my officials to raise the matter with their Danish counterparts to gain a better understanding of the issues at stake and to recall our shared commitments to the protection of environmental human rights defenders.
