George Gibney due in court after being extradited from US
George Gibney has been arrested following an extradition from the United States of America at the request of the Irish authorities.
Gardaí arrested the man in his 70s on Tuesday morning upon arrival at Dublin airport.
He is being brought before a sitting at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Tuesday morning.
He is currently being detained at a Garda station in Dublin.
Mr Gibney is facing charges of historical sexual abuse against a number of girls in the 1970's and 80's.
He has been charged with 78 counts of indecent assault and one charge of attempted rape against four minor females aged between eight and 15 years at the time of the alleged offences.
Two weeks ago, a US judge ordered the extradition of Mr Gibney at the request of Irish authorities.
US magistrate Judge Daniel Irick made the order at a hearing in Florida earlier in July.
Mr Gibney, who had sex offence charges against him dismissed in the 1990s, has lived in the US for years.
