Over the past decade, since the September 11 attacks on the USA, many governments worldwide have put their duty to their own citizen in second place to the USA's desire for vengeance and control.
In 2008 the US government decided not to bail out Lehman Brothers and plunged the world into a banking crisis that has had unprecedented global fallout. The USA instead of absorbing its own mess transferred its financial disaster to the rest of the planet. While in Ireland the government absorbed responsibility for bank debt and transferred unsustainable debts onto the backs of the Irish people, in the USA the government pulled back and allowed a global financial disaster to emerge. This abrogation of responsibility led to the collapse of the global and indeed the Irish economy.
In this climate the USA seeks to also be the world's policeman, arresting kids for file sharing globally and other nefarious alleged crimes that are not the business of the USA.

A message to the USA government : If you cant support your failed institutions then don't expect support for your failed political wars from the countries and the people your abrogation of responsibility has impoverished.
If the USA seeks the extradition of Irish children on political charges expect a backlash that will affect many of your most respected companies that operate on Irish soil.
If there is any attempt at the extradition of Iri
Publish Postsh boys to the USA then I suggest a total boycott and permanent pickets on US firms in Ireland such as Google, Facebook, Paypal Intel, Microsoft and the USA government itself at their emnbasy ion Ballsbridge.
We can only take it in the ass so often. The USA must offer a reach-around or their position in Europe and the globe will be forever sidelined and silenced by the people their governments actions have impoverished .
