A man accused of attacking an off-duty Garda in Dublin's Temple Bar during an incident which left the officer in critical condition, has consented to stay in custody.
34-year-old Kevin Murphy, with an address at North Frederick Street, Dublin 1, was remanded to prison last week.
Last week, Mr Murphy was charged with assault causing harm to two men, both off-duty Gardaí, at Eustace Street, Dublin 2, in the early hours of December 14th.
He is also accused of robbing the more seriously injured man of his phone and wallet.
No bail application
The accused has yet to indicate a plea and did not move a bail application at his first hearing.
He faced his second appearance at Dublin District Court today.
Mr Murphy's solicitor said, he "is not applying for bail, and there is consent for a straight remand for four weeks".
On prison remand
The Judge adjourned the case with the accused, who has been granted legal aid, to remain on prison remand.
He will appear again on January 20th via video link at Cloverhill District Court.
The Judge noted Gardaí are seeking directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mr Murphy is one of two men before the courts in connection with the assault in the early hours of December 14th.
