Like I said, if we're talking more than one soverign, then it's not double jeopardy under US law. In this case, and assuming that there are long arm statutes that apply in the US, there is nothing to stop the US government from trying this person for exactly the same crime for which he was tried in Ireland. That's not double jeopardy.
