A man alleged to have advertised Irish passports for sale in the names of children who had died in infancy is to face an extradition hearing next week.
Mr Justice Michael Peart is to rule on an application by British police for the extradition of Michael Fallon to face a charge of conspiracy to defraud the UK Passport Agency by the provision of false passport applications.
The High Court was told that British police believed Fallon, and alleged co-conspirators, advertised passports for sale in the International Herald Tribune.
British police claimed in the warrant that the scam had been exposed by the Granada television investigative journalism show Tonight with Trevor Mc Donald.
