Dan McGinn and Kieran McDaid

Democratic Unionist MEP Jim Allister issued the challenge following the emergence from hiding last Friday of three Irish republicans who have been on the run since a Colombian court found them guilty of training Marxist rebels.

Mr Allister has tabled a question in the European Parliament to be answered next month about the return of James Monaghan, Martin McCauley and Niall Connolly.
