It would likely have prevented his extradition at the stage he was surrendered and, quite possibly, altogether.&quot; (Official Report, Col 177, 9 July 2013)<br><br>The Government also looked closely at the manner in which Ireland had dealt with the issue of lengthily pre-trial detention, considering their \u2018charge and try\u2019 provision and the extent to which it has had an impact on Arrest Warrant cases (for instance, as shown by the judgment in Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform v Bailey (21 March 2012).<br><br>In framing the section, the Government also recognised that the legal systems of some other Member States (e.g. Sweden) require that the person be present in the jurisdiction in order for the decisions to charge and try to be taken. Full consideration was given to this position, with section 12A being clear that in cases where the decisions have not been taken, the person\u2019s absence from the issuing State must be the sole reason for that failure if extradition is to take place. In all cases, if the issuing State is not trial-ready then extradition cannot take place.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
