The extradition of Daniel Kinahan from the UAE to Ireland has been welcomed. Mr Kinahan is regarded as one of the most high-profile individuals sought for prosecution in connection with transnational organised crime and is accused of directing an organised crime organisation.

The Law Society of Ireland has told justice minister Jim O'Callaghan that two issues remain critical to resolving the ongoing dispute over the new flat fee system for criminal legal aid.
