Gardaí may not travel to Jordan to question the person of interest in the murder investigation into the brutal killing of Jamey Carney in Killarney.
At the earliest, it would be weeks before gardaí would apply to Jordanian authorities for a mutual assistance request to permit them to travel there .
And if permission is granted, gardaí would be there in an observational capacity.
