Extradition of a Cork man in multimillion-euro fraud case 'is of very significant public interest'

The extradition of a Cork man who acted as the “controlling mind” in a “multimillion-euro fraud” perpetrated against the UK is of very significant public interest, the High Court has heard.

Daniel O’Connell (65), with an address at Ballybrack, Clonlara, Co Clare and Roseneath, Corbally, Co Limerick was arrested in 2017 on foot of a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued by UK authorities.
