Daniel Kinahan's lawyers to apply for bail in due course, court hears
He is charged with directing the activities of a criminal organisation between 18 October 2015 and 6 April 2017.
Daniel Kinahan’s lawyers will seek bail in due course, the court has heard
An application for bail on behalf of Daniel Kinahan is to be brought in due course, the Special Criminal Court heard.
The request will be made through the High Court in Dublin.
Darragh Mackin of Phoenix Law, Kinahan’s solicitor, appeared in court on Monday and confirmed that a bail application will be made.
Kinahan is accused of directing the activities of a criminal organisation between 18 October 2015 and 6 April 2017.
Mackin also told the court that Kinahan’s defence team is seeking an expert to review the digital evidence and is trying to obtain information about other international investigations of which Kinahan was acquitted.
The prosecuting barrister for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) said there is a "complex factual matrix" behind Kinahan’s single charge.
He told the court that Kinahan’s extradition from Dubai earlier this year was based on a statement of facts that ran to 189 pages.
Kinahan was remanded and is due to appear in person in court again on 21 December.
The DPP barrister said the book of evidence should be ready by then.
This is Kinahan’s third appearance before the Special Criminal Court and the second time he has appeared in person.
He wore a grey suit, a black shirt and black glasses.
Kinahan was arrested in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in April and extradited on 9 August, when he was flown back to Ireland aboard the Irish government’s jet.
