Helen McEntee arrives in Abu Dhabi today to sign extradition agreement with UAE
Briefly

The new agreements between Ireland and the UAE will enhance cooperation in fighting crime and make extradition more effective, especially for gang leaders like those from the Kinahan crime gang.
Historically, the lack of an extradition treaty with the UAE created a haven for criminal gangs, notably allowing the Kinahan leaders to avoid justice after fleeing there from Spain.
Minister McEntee's ongoing negotiations with Emirati officials represent a focused effort to combat organized crime, demonstrating Ireland's commitment to dismantling drug trafficking networks.
The treaties will facilitate the return of senior Kinahan members to Ireland, playing a pivotal role in the Irish government's strategy against organized crime.
