The Justice Minister also said the United Arab Emirates was working closely with gardai and her department on securing a way of getting the mob leaders, including Daniel Kinahan, out of Dubai and back to Ireland

The desert state where the Kinahan mob bosses are holed up is committed to sending them back to Ireland, Helen McEntee has insisted.

America has placed a $5million bounty on Daniel, 46, his father Christy, 66, and 43-year-old brother Christopher.Several other targets are also living there, including Dubliner Sean McGovern, 38, who is already the subject of an extradition warrant. Late last year, Ms McEntee headed to Dubai to meet her counterpart Abdullah Bin Sultan Awad Al Nuaimi over plans for such a treaty, and she insisted yesterday that negotiations were still under way.

She said she believed the Kinahans would end up in the dock. She added: “I am confident they will face justice, but my objective here is to make sure that we have the right legal structure in place. “The extradition of Sean McGovern is a live issue between our own government and the authorities in Dubai. And then other members of the Kinahan organised crime group would be a target as well.

There was outrage when the remains of McAuley, part of an IRA gang that murdered Detective Garda Jerry McCabe in 1996, had the tricolour placed on it during his funeral in his native Strabane, Co Tyrone.
