Date set for extradition hearing

A date will be set by the High Court next week for the hearing of fresh extradition proceedings, brought against an Irishman wanted in Hungary for causing the death of two children 10 years ago.

Hungarian authorities are seeking the surrender of Francis Ciaran Tobin (aged 46) of Offington Drive, Sutton, Dublin, who was convicted and jailed for 18 months in his absence, of negligent driving causing the deaths of Marton (aged five) and Petra (aged two) Zoltai in April 2000.
