A judge in Belfast has refused a second application to extradite a Co Tyrone woman to Germany.
German authorities wanted Roisin McAliskey to face trial for the attempted murder of soldiers at a British army barracks in Osnabruck in 1996.
35-year-old Ms McAliskey who is a daughter of the former MP Bernadette McAliskey had been arrested at her home in Coalisland last May and was on bail.
Her lawyers argued that to extradite her would be an abuse of process as a previous application seven years ago was set aside on medical grounds.
The Recorder of Belfast, Judge Tom Burgess, refused the application to extradite Ms McAliskey on the basis it would be oppressive because of the passage of time.
In 1998 the British Home Secretary at the time Jack Straw decided not to extradite Ms McAliskey after receiving medical reports.
Attorney General Lord Williams said in 2000 there were no grounds for UK legal proceedings.
Judge Burgess said he believed most ordinary people, standing back and looking at the sequence of events he had set out, would come to the conclusion that anyone in the position of Ms McAliskey would have concluded that the matter was behind her.
He added that the passage of time, her poor health and threat to her future health reinforced his decision to refuse the application.
