High Court orders the surrender of an individual to Poland to serve the remaining sentence for breach of a restraining order and assault, rejecting the objection that surrender would expose him to inhuman or degrading treatment. The court found no substantial grounds to believe that the individual would face a real risk of inhuman or degrading treatment in Polish detention facilities, as the minimum living space per convict under Polish law complies with the European standard. The court also confirmed that the offences for which surrender was sought correspond to offences under Irish law, thereby satisfying the requirements for surrender under statute.
