A fugitive wanted in connection with a charges of causing death by dangerous driving in the State is to be extradited.
Bow Street Magistrates' Court in central London issued the extradition order after a hearing this morning.
Mr Michael Furlong, previously of Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, faces charges of dangerous driving causing the death of Natalie Freeman (15) in March 2002.
Ms Freeman was a passenger in the car allegedly driven by Mr Furlong which hit a wall near Bagnalstown, Co Carlow, in the early hours of the morning. He subsequently failed to turn up in court to face a charge of dangerous driving in connection with the incident.
Mr Furlong was identified after he won €150,000 on the Channel 4 game show, Boys and Girls, last weekend.
Mr Matthew Butt, appearing for Mr Furlong, indicated that his client would not be appealing against the order and further arrangements for the extradition would be made on Tuesday.
No date has been fixed for Mr Furlong's return to Ireland. After the court hearing, a police source said Mr Furlong had intended to be part of the audience on the Saturday night show.
But he was picked out to appear and then went on to claim the six-figure prize.
