Ó Dúnlaing asked that a trial date of October 26 next be vacated, which was acceded to by the judge.
Michael Lynn SC alongside Carol Doherty BL, defending, asked for a sentence hearing date around December 1 in order to get a psychological report.
Ó Dúnlaing said he would have an application to make on count one in due course.
Judge Hunt adjourned the matter until December 7th and directed that a victim impact report be prepared. He remanded Rybar in custody until that date.
