EU passport case man to be extradited

A Dublin man alleged to have advertised Irish passports for sale in the names of children who had died in infancy is to be extradited to Britain to face charges.

The High Court today ordered the extradition of 50-year-old Michael Fallon, from Blackrock, who is wanted by the London Metropolitan police.

Fallon, otherwise known as Micheál Ó Fallúin, of Carysfort Hall, Blackrock, Co Dublin, is to face a charge of conspiracy to defraud the British passport agency by the provision of false applications in the late ‘90s.
