The Minister for Foreign Affairs , Mr Brian Lenihan , strongly condemned "the brutal killing . "I was deeply saddened to learn that the attack on the Finucane home also resulted in injury to Mrs Finucane. On my own behalf and on behalf of the government I offer our deepest sympathy to his bereaved family." The Northern Ireland Secretary, Mr King, said that he was horrified by the murder. No civilised society could tolerate it, from whichever vicious extreme it came, he said. The FG leader, Mr Dukes, denounced the killing. "I deplore this savage attempt to discourage people from exercising their legal right to defend themselves in court. This is a fundamental right in any democracy." Extradition demands renewed By Sean Flynn, Security Correspondent RENEWED Anglo-Irish strains over extradition have emerged after a series of British demands for major changes in the operation of the 1987 Ex tradition Act , which have been formally placed before the Government. The British demands, which were discussed at last week's Inter-governmental Conference, centre on the need for longer detention periods and the abolition of the Attorney General's role in extradition cases. British Government sources say that these demands must be met to ensure that extradition is workable and to address the problems which emerged in the cases involving the Rev Patrick Ryan , Mr Patrick McVeigh and Ms Evelyn Glenholmes. It appears extremely unlikely, however, that the Government will agree to any such changes. Last night it was clear that there is some irritation in Government circles about these British demands for further concessions — when the existing arrangemen ts have alr eady cau sed some political difficulty for Fianna Fail. The British demands are threefold. Firstly, they are seeking an extension of the present 72-hour period under which persons can be held under a provisional extradition warrant. Secondly, they are demanding new procedures whereby persons can cont inu e to be held in custody pending an appeal to a higher court — even if their extradition had been rejected by was extradited under the 1965 Extradition Act last August.

However, there is also widespread agreement that a continuing decline in the party's standing in the opinion polls, coupled with the expected loss of one or more seats in the European elections in June, will revive the pressure on the party leader. In Dublin the party has been casting around for a high profile candidate, such as the former EC Commissioner, Mr Peter Sutherland, to revive its prospects of holding two seats, but there appears no prospect of such a candidate emerging. There is now little confidence that both Ms Mary Banotti, MEP, and Mr Chris O'Malley can retain two seats for Fine Gael. In Munster, meanwhile, the party faces additional problems after the announcement by former Minister Mr Austin Deasy that he will not go forward. In his interview yesterday, Mr Dukes denied that the party had paid a high- price politically for its conditional support of the Government. He said that the opinion polls had shown that the party's support had remained at the level it achieved in the last election. The Government, he said , were getting approval for implementing policies which they could not nave implemented without Fine Gael . The Official Unionist MP for north Belfast , Mr Cecil Walker, described the murderers as "psycopathic killers" who were intent on creating havoc in the community. Mr Finucane was shot dead in front of his children as they were at their evening meal. He was wounded through the glass door of the kitchen and his killers fired more bullets into him as he lay on the kitchen floor. Mr and Mrs Finucane and their three children, aged between seven and 16, werehaving their tea in the kitchen at the back of the house when the gang charged in on them. Policebelieve that three men ran through the house but that only one of them was armed with a semi-automatic weapon , possibly a sub-machine gun. The killers parked their hijacked Ford Sierra outside the house and as the driver remained in the vehicle the other three approached the house. The front door was open and they forced open the porch door and ran down the hallway towards the kitchen. They fired several shots through the glass in the kitchen door and they fired again as they burst through into the room. A police source said: "It looks as if he was opening the kitchen door when they fired through it. When he fell they went in and fired a few more shots and one of these hit his wife's ankle." Mr Finucane was hit between three and five times in the body and head. The killers' getaway car was later found in the loyalist Woodvale Road. Police sealed off t he ar ea around the detached house at Fortwilliam Drive, a secluded Dr Dermot Cliff ord Thurles plea by archbishop The Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, Dr Dermot Clifford , has appealed to the Taoiseach, Mr Haughey and the directors of the Irish Sugar Company to grant a stay of execution on the Thurles sugar factory. Speaking on behalf of the workers, fanners, hauliers and the whole community for which, he said, the factory was central to life around Thurles , Dr Clifford urged that the plant be kept open for at least another year. He said this was necessary to allow replacem ent industries to be set up. Otherwise, Dr Clifford said, the community around Thurles would be devastated. (See also page 9) By Sean Mac Connell BORD BAINNE, the milk exporl boar d , has asked the European Commission to investigate the British Milk Marketing Board's relationship with its subsidiary, Dairy Crest to determine if that relationship is in breach of EC monopoly regulations, a Bord Bainne spokesman confirmed yesterday. The Commission's investigaiton will focus on the finances and market power of the British board and Dairy Crest, its wholly-owned subsidiary, which some weeks ago agreed to pay Unigate, an independent dairy, £152 million for seven processing plants and almost half its milk delivery business in Britain. The deal, which is currently being examined by the British Office of Fair Trading, means that 30 per cent of the British board's milk will be sold daily to its own company which is also its biggest customer. In some parts of Britain , according to a report in yesterday's Sunday Times, like East Anglia and the British Midlands, that figure could rise to almost 60 per cent. This has led to concern in Britain and here that the British Milk Marketing Board could exploit this position to control wholesale milk prices to further Dairy Crest's interests. The report said that the Irish board in particular was worried about the new power of Dairy Crest which might allow it increasingly to keep out nonBritish products, especially butter. tion to listeria, infection by this organism remains comparatively rare there. Association members began testing for listeria only last year, he said. "Before that we were not very familiar with it at Move to calm French anger over cheese allegation: page 9. all." Recent outbreaks of salmonella are attributed to improper storage of foods , cross contamination and poor personal hygiene. "It is very difficult to convince food processors and handlers of the importance of hand-washing," he added . These aspects are more important "because of the sophisticated way we deal with stored foods," he said. A survey completed by the association in 1987 showed that almost half of refrigerated cabinets tested in food outlets were far too warm to keep the food stored in them safe from infection, and there are no legal sta n dards fo r these applian ces, he said. "It is crucial that the proper chilling temperatures are reached" during storage, according to Professor Paul McNulty of the agriculture and food engineering department at University College, Dublin. Foods that are cooked and then stored fresh until eaten are a particular problem, he said, and improper storage has led to many outbreaks of listeria infection. When foods were eaten soon after cooking listeria did not have a chance to multi ply. "There has been a failure to inform people about food handling technologies, he said. Listena grows readily in foods chilled at between ^ and 10° Centigrade, but won't grow when temperatures are at 4°C. For this reason it is "commonly encountered in chilling systems here," he said. Professor Fergal O'Gara of the food biotechnology unit at University College, NET daily sales of The Irish Times for the period from July to December , 1988, were 89,374, the highest in the history of the newspaper. This compares with 87,352 for the six months from Jul y to December , 1987, and 86,337 for the six months from January to June, 1988. Dublin Bus to bar trouble makers By Frank Kilfeather DUBLIN BUS is to clamp down on "drunken hooligans" and known trouble makers by refusing them entry to buses following the increase in violence and vandalism in recent months. The company imposed a late night curfew on 23 routes in north-east Dublin last Friday and Saturday nights — two of the worst nights for trouble. This week the company will review the curfew, but it is hoped that it will not have to be used again. The buses were taken out of circulation at 10.30 each night. Dublin Bus already has the legal power to refuse troublesome members of the public entry to its vehicles. Inspectors and crews, backed up by the gardai, will in the future enforce the regulations to the full. However, this may not be until the end of March, when the retraining of crews is completed. A spokesman said there would have, to be consultation with the unions about the "get- tough" policy, but he was sure that the unions would be in agreement, as it was in everyone's interests to stan d up to the "thugs" who were terrorising crews and passengers, and smashing seats and windows, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage every year. Union spokemen yesterdaysaid they were prepared to talk about the new moves. They appealed to the public to help crews stand up to the hooligans. They also expressed concern that many buses now had only one crew member on board and implementing the new system would be difficult. Dublin Bus apologised for the inconvenience caused to its wellbeh aved passengers for the loss of late-night services on Friday and Saturday, but stressed that the situation was so serious that it had no option but to take such strong action. The drastic step was taken after consultation with the unions and gardai and following numerous complaints from bus crews and passengers. , The matter is to be raised in the Dail next week by the Fine Gael spokesman on Transport , Mr Brendan Griffin , TD.

Listeria risk low , say Irish food experts By Dick Ahlstrom , Science Correspondent POOR HYGIENE and improper food handling are to blame for the recent rash of illnesses arising f rom foodstuffs , according to specialists who claim there is no need to avoid foods or to "panic" over outbreaks of salmonella here or listeria in Britain. "These organisms are nothing new," stated Mr Gerry Heraghty, chairman of the Environmental Health Officers' Association. The cases of salmonella and listeria coming to light now ar e a r esult of better surveillance , and not necessarily because more foods are infected. "There is no need for anyone to avoid eating cheese," he said , addi ng that very few cases of listeria poisoning had been noted in this country. And in spite of the new health guidelines issued by the British Government , particularly in rela- Mr Pat Finucane residential district off the Antrim Road. A resident in the street said: "I heard a number of shots and then a car going off. Apparently it was Mr Finucane who had been shot, and his wife." Mr Finucane became widely known throughout the North last November when he figured prominently in the "shoot to kill" inquest in Craigavon. He represented the family of one of the victims of the controversial RUC shootings, Gervaise McKerr, and mounted a successful challenge to the coroner's ruling that the RUC men involved in the killings could not be called to give evidence. The SDLP councillor for north Belfast, Dr Brian Feeney, said the killing was the "first fruits" of the Common's statement by Mi Hogg who said last month that certain Belfast solicitors were "sympathetic" towards the IRA. Dr Feeney said Mr Hogg's sentiments were seen by loyalists as "clearly legitimising" their act ions in attacking Catholic solicitors who represented republicans in court. A Sinn Fein spokesman, Mi Danny Morrison, expressing his regret at Mr Finucane's killing, claimed t h a t Mr Hogg s comments had "provided loyalists with the pretext for slaying Pat Finucane, who was a leading civil rights lawyer." Mr Tom Campbello, an alliance councillor in north Belfast and also a solicitor, said: "Recent statements such as those relating (Continued on page 11) The secretary of Bord Bainne, Mr Peter McKimm, said Bord Bainne had raised the query in Brussels because it saw Dairy Crest as the commercial arm of the British Milk Marketing Board. "We have, of course, no objection to the operations of Dairy Crest and don t mind competition but it has to be fair and at the moment we feel we are not playing on a level pitch ," he said. Because of that, he said, the Commission had been asked to examine the links between the board and the company to ensure that there were no cross guarantees or other business practices which would breach European law. "That is all we are doing," he said. Dairy Crest and the board in Britain have denied any allegation of breaches of monopoly legislation and say that the milk marketing scheme and its services has ensured that Britain has the highest quality milk in the world. Mr Larry Goodman, the Irish agri-businessman, holds a 7.89 per cent interest in Unigate but was not present at last Wednesday's shareholders ' meeting when shareholders approved the sale of the dairy plants to Dairy Crest. EG to investigate alleged British milk monopoly Tallaght strategy row hyped-up by media—Dukes By Sean Flynn THE KERRY North deputy, Mr Jimmy Deenihan is unlikely to face any disciplinary sanction at Wednesday's meeting of the parliamentary party as the Fine Gael leadership seeks to defuse the controversy over its Tallaght strategy of conditional support for the Government. In an interview on RTE's "This Week" radio programme yesterday, the party leader , Mr Dukes, played down any question of a challenge to his authority, saying that Mr Deenihan's criticisms of party policy had been hyped up by the media. In effectively ruling out any disciplinary move against Mr Deenihan, the party leadership appears to be hoping that this will defuse the controversy, although party sources expr essed concern that no action at this stage could clear the way for other critics of the Tallaght strategy to go public. A number of Mr Dukes critics within the party were last night contrasting the expected treatment of Mr Deenihan with that meted out to the Galway deputy, Mr John Donnellan who was expelled from the parliamentary rty last April. Unlike Mr 6aleenihan, the Galway deputy voted against Mr Dukes in the election for the party leadership and he has not enjoyed a good personal relationship with the party leader. Fine Gael sources, including those opposed to the Tallaght strategy, all agreed last night that Mr Dukes would have little diffi- Belfast solicitor was a target for years: page 11 89 ,374 Cork, said that the quality assurance aspects of food handling become particularly vital when the shelf life of fresh foods is extended. Foods that traditionally were eaten within a week or two after processing are now often held for four or live weeks, thus lengthening the period during which infection by organisms can develop. He added, however, that fears about eating chilled foods were "unfounded ," provided the buyer had confidence in the source of the food and the outlet where it was purchased. "The whole thing comes down to a matter food hygiene," stated Professor Irene Hillary, professor of medical microbiology at UCD. Salmonella and listeria are common organisms on the foods we eat, but usu ally only affect those who through pregnancy or illness have a diminished ability to cope with infection , and then only when large colonies of the bacteria are present.

The conference was no t a decision-making one and the commissioner set the tone in his opening address by reminding officers they should feel free to speak candidly. In the event virtually every one of the 45 or so fresent made some contribution , t was clear last night that the meeting has further bolstered Mr Crowley's reput ation in the eyes of his colleagues. In his address the commissioner, while praising gardai on their success in uncovering IRA munitions, stressed there was a great deal of work still to be done. He was concerned that , on occasion , intelligence informati on could be "pigeon-holed " within particular districts , and no t properly disseminated to senior officers in the force. Each item of in telligence , he said, should be assessed, logged and distribu ted by senior officers to their colleagues. The conference made no decision about a new system for collating intelligence, but last night a number of those present said they wer e left with the impression that the commissioner or one of his senior colleagues would presen t reform nrnnn «a1s shnrtl v. Both the commissioner and the deputy commissioner in charge of operations , Mr Pa trick Cultigan , stressed tha t large sums of money are readily available for informan ts. In recent years , t he secret service fund for such payments has increased by some 500 per cent to its present level of £160,000. The emphasis placed on the cultivation of informants at the conference underlines the commissioner 's belief that good intelligence is the key element in successful anti-terrorist policing. Durin g his afternoon address , Mr Culligan gave a len gth y overvie w of the IRA 's present armoury. He said he could not pinpoint the exact amount still in their possession , but estimated t hey held between four and six tonnes of Semtex and a huge amoun t of rifles. It is widely believed the IRA retains over 900 K alashnikov rifles , althou gh Mr Culligan did not quote an exact fi gure. He said the gardai estimate of the IRA weapons was based on the best intelligence pointers. This Mr Crowley was taken to mean statements made to French police as part of the investi gation into the Eksund seizure and t he fact t ha t t here were over I SO tonnes of munitions on the coaster. Gardai estimate that an equivalent amount of munitions were, most probably, imported into the Republic in four smaller shipments in 1985-86. Significantly, Mr Culligan made no reference to the IRA as having missiles. surface- t o - a i r There is now some doubt as to whether the provisiona l actually possess such weapons. In his address the deputy commissioner in char ge of garda adminis tration , Mr John Paul McMahon , said tha t Government financial policy laid par ticular responsibilit y on the chief superintendent in each division to ensure tha t his area was policed in the most cost-effective way. The gardai have often complained in the past that they enjoyed no direc t financial control on the force and, while the presen t restrictions on expenditure created difficulties , it at least gave the force some element of autonomy in financial matters. He reminded chief superin tendents that they were now effectively the accounting officers in each division and that it was up to them to make the best possible use of availab le resources. The only othe r formal address was given by Chief Superintendent Pat O'Driscoll. who rev i e w e d i n c r e a s e d use of computerisation in the force.

By Dick Ahlstrom ASBESTOS waste from a disused ESB plant will not be dumped in Co Laois until a consultant' s report on the project has been examined by Laois County Council, the county manager, Mr Michael Deigan , told a public meeting at the weekend. Strong opposition to the plan , which would see asbestos waste from the Portarlington power station buried at the Kylephaleshia dum p about a mile from Portlaoise, was voiced by local groups and Earthwatc h , the environmental group, which called for an inventory of asbestos wastes already dumped at sites around the country. Mr John Lowry of the Irish Farmers ' Association said he had "grave reservations " about the use of the dump for asbestos. Mr Marcus Mc C a b e of Earthwatch also expre ssed concern about a private asbestos waste dump near the village of Ballylynan , Co KUdare, operated by the Tegral company which manufacturers asbestos cement pipes and building materials. He told The Irish Times that he saw uncovered asbestos-slat es and corrugated sheets at the Ballylynan dump and a workman at the site was not wearing protective clothing. Tegral officials were unavailable for comment last night.

Mrs Taylor-Quinn re peated her assertion that the rod licence dispute was causing severe damage to tourism and that onl y 3Vi per cent of troutanglers had purchased a licence last year . However, Mr Molloy cri ticised Fine Gael for putting forward a motion rather than an amendment Bill, as they had promised to do, and recalled that last June , Fine Gael declined to support a PD Bill which would have suspended the licence. He said the PDs would decide at a parliamentary par ty meeting tomorro w on what its official attitude would be to the tial target for loyalist attack for several years. In the early 1980s he lived quite close to a loyalist estate in north Belfast but moved to his home in the Fortwilliam area abou t five years ago. In the last year loyalist sources have claimed that members questioned by the RUC had been told by police officers that Mr Finucane and other Catholic solicitors were helping to keep the IRA out of prison. The statement by Mr Douglas Hogg in the Bri t ish House of Commons appeared to follow the same course . Mr Finucane was educated at St .

Britain demands ch an ges in legal process Doherty chosen for European election THE former Minister for Justice, Mr Sean Doher ty from Roscommon , was yesterday selected to contest the European Parliament elections in the Connacht-Ulster Constituency in June. Both he and the sitt ing MEP, Mr Mark Killilea , were the unanimous choice of over 1,100 delegates at the Fianna Fail convention in Castlebar. The session , which proved somewha t of a non-event since the withdrawal of the third candidate, Mr Pat the Cope Gallagher, by the was chaired Minister for the Environment , Mr Flynn. The convention had the task of appointing three replacement candida tes from a list of six names. Senator Tom Hussey of Galway, the East Mayo TD, Mr P. J. Mor ley, and a Sligo RTC lecturer , Mr Daniel McHugh , were nominated. From t ha t period on , Mr Finucane's practice increased , largely with cases of peop le charged with IRA-related offences from west Belfast , where his family lived. Two of his brot hers were sentenced for IRA-related offences and one, Dermott , faces extradition to Northern Ireland from the Republic for escaping from the Maze prison in 1983. Another relative is an active Sinn Fein figure in west Belfast. Other solicitors maintained that it was the family connection with the republican movement that helped built up Mr Finucane 's por t folio , but he was also regarded in the courts as an adroit and determined legal representative . His most recent major case involved repre sentation of the famili es of the three men who were killed in the so-called "shoot-to-kill" episode in Arma gh in 1982. He brought a successful High Court application to overthrow a coroner 's court direction that RUC witnesses be allowed to stay away and have their evidence read only in statement form . It is not clear how his death will effect the course of the inquests which have been delayed for more than six years now. Mr Finucane had been a poten- Fine Gael move. The Munster MEP, Professor Tom Raftery, said at the weekend that the Minister had succeeded in ma king a criminal class of Ireland' s "most law-abidi ng and environmen t-conscious group of citizens," — the an gling community . Professor Raftery accused Mr Daly of havi ng ruined last year 's revenue from angli ng tourism and asserted that now the Minister app eared to be in an even more det ermined mood to "finish off this source of income in the curren t year. (Continued from page 1) to the alleged political motivations of some solicitors in the province cannot help matt ers. Those who are involved in the legal system in Northern Ireland carry out their duties in an impartial and efficient manner without regard to the political affiliations of those coming to them. " The Commi ttee on the Adminstration of Justice, an independen t group composed of lawyers, described the killing as "an attack on civil liberties and the rule of law." A stat ement from the group added: "We are especially disturbed that the murder so closely follows the Home Office minister 's Douglas Hogg's statement that the government regards some lawyers as sympathetic to terrorism. The CAJ calls on the minister either to disown the statemen t or resien. ". The Home Offi ce said there would be no commen t from Mr Hogg last night. A spokesman added: "Murder is an abhorrence from wha tever quarter it comes and there is simply no justification for those callous acts of murder carried out in Northern Ireland ." But Labour's Nor thern Ireland sp o k e s m a n , Mr Ke v in McNamara, said: "I think Mr Hogg has got to consider very caref ully what he said. This death must be a tragedy for the legal profession in Northern Ireland as well as for t he family of t he deceased ." He add ed the Labour Party would be seeking to raise the issue in the Commons today. Mr Finucane had several actions pending before the European Court of Human Rights. One of t hem was a challenge t o t he Bri tish government derogation from the Human Rights Convention over the seven-day detention of suspects. He had also filed papers rela ting to the shoot-to -kill deaths and it was felt that his action seeking to overturn the British government 's media ban on interviews would also have resul ted in a hearing at European level. He had also been handling the Nor thern Ireland side of an attem pt by his brother , Dermot , a Maze escaper, to resis t extradition from the Republic. Councillor Seamus Lynch, the Workers' Party chairman in the Nor th , said that the savage killing was calcula ted to drive the community further into conflict. In the House of Commons last month , durin g the committee sta ge on the Prevention of Terror ism Bill , Mr Hogg claimed that " cer t ain solici t ors in Nort hern Ireland were unduly sympathetic to one or other terrorist organ isations in Northern Ireland , and he indica ted that he meant the IDA For the SDLP , Mr Seamus Mallon , challenged Mr Hogg and called on him to withdraw remarks. his Mr Mallon said last night: "I also pointed out that as a result of his remarks many solicitors in the north of Irelan d had become ta rgets for assassins bullets as a resul t of that statement of his. I regre t that those words are now very prop hetic indeed. " At the scene of the shooting last night , one of the North' s best known solicitors , Mr Pascal O'Hare , also condemned Mr Ireland Law Society, whose secre tary, Mr Michael Davey, wrote to Mr Hogg about his " extremely damaging" accusat ions , which he said were "glaringly unspecific. " Mr Douglas Hogg Hogg's comments. "Lawyers in the North of Ireland have carried out their functions under very difficult circums tances , and it illbehoves any government minister to make any sort of a statement which would obliquely or otherwise put any member of the legal profession here in Nor thern Ireland in jeopardy. " During the furore which followed Mr Hogg's remarks, made to a Commons select committ ee examinin g the Prevention of Terrorism Bill, the Belfast solicitor , Mr Paddy McGrory, called .on the minister to name the people he was referring to , so that they could be investigated by the Law Societv. Mr McGror y, who represented the families of the IRA members shot dead in Gibraltar during the inques t on them , said t ha t Mr Hogg 's remarks seemed to be directed towards a fairly substantial group of people who appeared for clients on terrorist-type trials. "But who in that group he hasn 't said, thereby casting his cloud of suspicion over all who appear on those cases." The Minister 's comments also dre w a protest from the Northern Mr Davey said on January 19th: "What concerns me is that , as spoken, the remarks extend over the entire solicitors' profession in the province. That is well over 1,000 people . If there is anything specific, any ques tion of professional improprie ty I would like to know about it. I do not know what he means." Mr Finucane, and his firm , Madden and Finucane , were widely known for their handlin g of prisoners ' rights and human rights cases involving detention. He was the subject of major publicity during the Craigavon shoot-to-kill inquest , when on the firs t day he left the inquest to start a process which was to resul t in a High Court decision which was seen as a highly significan t legal victory — the court ' s decision tha t the policemen responsible for the shooting could be called to give evidence at the inquest. Jus t after the inquest he also acted as the solicitor for a man acquitted of charges in connection with the killing of two British soldiers. He was in the public eye in 1981 when he acted as solicitor for Bobb y Sands during the hunger-s triker 's successful campaign for election to Westminster. Recentl y, another major case added to his high profile when he represented Mr M i t c h e l l McLaug hlin, chairm an of Sinn Fein's six county executive , in his legal challenge to the British Home Secretary's media ban on broadcast interviews with people representin g Sinn Fein. Anot her of Mr Finucane 's brothers, Seamus , is believed to have been a boyfriend of Mai read Farrell , one of three IRA members shot dead in Gibraltar last year. (Continued from page 1) have been detained in custod y, the British argue. The Irish response is that the problems in the Father Ryan case arose because invalid extradition war rants had initiall y been forwarded to Dublin. This denied gardai any powers to arrest under a provisional warran t. The demand for longer detention , pendin g an appeal , is made in the light of District Court cases which have led to the release of Mr Patrick McVeigh at Portlaoise , Mr James McClafferty in Dundalk and Ms Evelyn Glenholmes in Dublin. The State is appealing the judgment in Mr McVeigh' s case , but he remai ns at liberty. Britain maintains that some new powers must be given to allow the . gardai to arrest and detain in such cases — althou gh Irish sources say that the legal basis for any such move is unclear . The British side would also like to see a particular court designated to hear all extradition cases, so as to ensure , that the individual judge is fully au f ait with all aspects of extradition law. The Government has given some considera tion to transferring all initial appearances in extradition cases from the District Court to either the Circuit Court or the High Court. However, the Governmen t still faces considerable Fianna Fail opposition to existing extradition policy and it is reluctant to make further concessions to Britain on the issue. Britain 's objections to the powers of the Attorney General under the 1987 Act led to a sixmonth impasse over extradition last year. This was resolved only last J une, when the British Attorney General, Sir Patrick Mayhew , agreed to co-operate with the legislation. The sustained British objection to this power is directly related to the Father Ryan case and the decision by the Irish Attorney General , Mr John Murray, to refuse their Ryan extradition request. Irish Government sources stress that this decision was not made in strict accordance with t he t erms of t he Act , bu t ra t her, as part of the Attorney General 's wider role to ensure that the constitutional rights of Irish citizens are not infrin ged . In the Ryan case, the Att orney General argued that these had been infringed by the advance publicity in t he Commons and in t he British media about the case. These new difficul ties on extradition come as the Director of Public Prosecutions in Dublin examines Bri tish evidence in the Father Ryan case. After the rejection of extradition, the British G overnmen t is seeking his prosecution under the 1976 Criminal Law Jurisdiction Act , which could allow for his trial in nnhlin The Irish Government believes that the 1976 Act represents a workable alternative to extradition at a time of continuing concern in the Republic about British justice. A successful prosecution in the case will inevitably bolster the Government 's ar guments but any difficulties could have major ramifications for extradition policy between the two governments.
