A High Court Judge has today criticised the gardaí over their failure to take immediate action when an Irish doctor on bail awaiting the outcome of his appeal against his extradition to the US on child molestation charges had absconded.

AN Irish-born doctor, wanted in the United States for fleeing the state of Florida in 2001 before his trial on child sex offences started, has been remanded on continuing bail by the High Court.
