An English man, wanted in connection with the rape of a teenage girl just over five years ago, has consented to his extradition back to the UK.

Mr Justice Michael Peart was told by the High Court yesterday that John Renner Dillon (aged 41), a native of Newcastle in England who had been working in Ireland prior to his arrest by the gardaí, wished to return to the UK as soon as possible.
