Justice Minister 'insulting Irish courts' by seeking to go around 'bar' on Ian Bailey extradition, court hears

The Minister for Justice is insulting the Irish courts by seeking to go around a Supreme Court "bar" on Ian Bailey's extradition to France in relation to the death of Sophie Tuscan du Plantier, according to lawyers for the Englishman.

Mr Bailey (aged 60) of The Prairie, Liscaha, Schull, west Cork, denies any involvement in the death of Ms du Plantier, who was found dead outside her holiday home in Schull in December 1996.
