(a) with the consent of the Secretary of State in the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland signified by a certificate purporting to be given by him or on his behalf, which certificate shall be judicially noticed, or

(b) where that person, having had an opportunity to leave the State, has not done so within forty-five days of his final discharge in respect of the offence for which he was delivered up or has returned to the State after leaving it, or

(c) where, in proceedings in relation to the offence for which that person was delivered up, he could be convicted for that other offence under the law of the State.
