I guarantee these to felons will NEVER be extradited to the United States. Just look at the record over the past 20 years and you'll find the number of successful extraditions from Ireland to the U.S.A. an be counted on ONE hand. The Irish authorities are loath to sent criminals to the States, mainly for one reason. They might be found guilty and actually PUNISHED. The Irish don't like to punish bad people thay'd rather FORGIVE them. It's a Catholic ethos thing.
And yet we still have people struggling putting attachments to emails,the irony

I agree with McNamara31. It is coming out that the Irish are unbelievable computer engineers as witnessed by Liam O'Murchu's uncovering of the hackers who destroyed part of Iran's nuclear energy plant. Look up "60 minutes" program of February 29th. The countries involved not been overtly identified, but everyone know who the main country was and they were going to continue to destroy at will. I haven't heard of the U.S. FBI going after this group and can only wonder why they are after two Irish kids.
I hope the FBI/CIA hires them fast(before someone else does) and assigns them to protecting systems from hackers with similar capabilities.In a strange way this is a great compliment to Irish education in information technologies.
