Return To Ireland
The day after their conviction, the Colombian Attorney General announced that the men had fled Colombia. On 5 August 2005, following an interview with Monaghan by RTÉ's Charlie Bird, it emerged that the three men had clandestinely returned to Ireland. The three men were subsequently questioned by Gardaí but no moves have been taken in relation to extraditing them to Colombia, despite the existence of an Colombian arrest warrant. No extradition treaty or agreement exists between Colombia and Ireland.

—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“There is no topic ... more soporific and generally boring than the topic of Ireland as Ireland, as a nation.”
