   > All hell broke loose as Glenholmes, her supporters, the press and a large group of detectives grappled with each other outside the court. As detectives tried to block her away, Glenholmes was grabbed on either arm by two men, one of whom was veteran IRA figure Kevin Mallon, and manhandled towards a waiting car.

   > Unmarked garda cars tried to block the car containing Glenholmes from leaving the Four Courts area but the car eventually sped off, followed in close pursuit by several unmarked garda cars.

   > Glenholmes was initially taken to Sinn Fein’s offices at Parnell Square. She later left the offices surrounded by Sinn Fein supporters, including Adams, McGuinness and Morrison.
   **The group was tightly followed by a large party of detectives who, by then, had received a fresh extradition request from Scotland Yard.**
