Minister for Foreign Affairs to meet Colombian counterpart in NYC
The Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern is to meet with his Colombian counterpart next week.
The pair will come face to face in New York on Monday, when both men attend the United Nations General Assembly.
The Government claims Colombia hasn’t formally requested the extradition of the Colombia 3 but says it will consider the issue if Colombian authorities ask for Niall Connolly, Martin McAuley and James Monaghan to be sent back to Bogota.
The men, who jumped bail, are appealing after being convicted of training FARC guerrillas.
