Ian Bailey outside the High Court, Dublin, after the court rejected an attempt by French authorities to extradite him for the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

Frank Buttimer made the comments following French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion yesterday that a new trial could be arranged for “condemned man” Ian Bailey in France - if he agreed to come.
