Obviously, there are people who could...

Have 25 exes in personal use and he's charged.

I mean, he hasn't been convicted of this.

Look, you're never going to go for it.

Now, the criminal damage, again, that could carry a range of things, but in all likelihood, it's something of a drunken nature where some damage is done to, you know, a door or something along those lines.

I don't know what it is exactly.

So it's a curious case because I suppose people get held up as being the perfect victim.

Even more so, obviously, he's an Irish man, so it's just a straightforward story for the Irish papers.

But in the US where everything is so contested, he was initially held up as this perfect victim.

Yeah.

Now that might...

change.

But a lot of people are asking like, how come the American officials don't just know about this bench warrant or these charges?

Well, it doesn't automatically, everything doesn't flag up.

Now, there's some changes in how the information that we share with the US government relating to people going into the country, absolutely.

But mostly, you constantly hear it in courts, people, judges are saying, well, if you get convicted of this, you won't be able to go to America.

But traditionally, all that means is the American government have asked you on a form, have you any criminal convictions?

And you just write no, and they don't check it up.

No, I mean, there's data protection and, you know, they're not obliged.

I think if they make a specific request about Eimear Rabbit, then the Irish government will probably tell them the information.
