DUBLIN—An Irish court on Jan.24 approved the extradition of one of the two Northern Irish men charged with manslaughter over the deaths of 39 Vietnamese people found in the back of a truck near London last year.

British authorities are seeking Eamonn Harrison, 23, on charges of human trafficking and immigration offenses, as well as the 39 crimes of manslaughter in a case that has shone a light on the illicit human smuggling trade.
