Jonathan Collopy, who has a conviction for serious drugs offences from the early 2000s, is set to be extradited to Bulgaria where he is wanted to serve a sentence for drink-driving.
The Limerick man and father-of-six had contested his surrender at the High Court, with his lawyers submitting that there was a real risk he would receive inadequate medical care for his severe back pain due to substandard facilities should he be extradited to Sofia Prison in Bulgaria.

A Brazilian man who was one of three who flew into Ireland trafficking drugs from their native country has been jailed for 18 months.
Breno Oliveria (24) ingested 30 pellets of cocaine in Sao Paulo after he attended a meeting on the understanding that he was getting a work permit to allow him to work in construction in Ireland. He was from a rural area of Brazil and his intention was to go to Ireland to get work so he could send much needed funds home.
Garda Andrew McDonald told Katherine McGillicuddy BL, prosecuting, that unbeknownst to Oliveria he was on the same flight into Dublin as two other Brazilians who had also met with the same gang and forced to transport the cocaine.
