If they wanted to apply for a warrant in Ireland through the Irish police and courts there's nothing stopping them and they have not done that.

Instead, they want to legally establish in their own courts that they have universal jurisdiction.

It's actually patronising in the extreme - so they seriously think Ireland is utterly incapable of handling a legal case or do they just think that they've a case that's so weak or might not stand up in an Irish court?
