Tralee District Court has heard things are progressing quite well in the state's case against a man charged over a fatal stabbing in North Kerry in May.
Sergeant Chris Manton gave the update as the case of 35-year-old Kieran Brady, of Upper Athea, Co. Limerick, who was charged in connection with the incident, was called in court.
Mr Brady faces one charge: the manslaughter of Gerard Kennelly in Knockanure in May.
Mr Kennelly, who was in his mid-30s, was found with fatal injuries in the early hours of Monday May 27th in Knockanure village.
At Tralee District Court recently, Inspector Chris Manton said directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions in this case were not available yet.
Judge Waters asked when he would expect to have directions, and Inspector Manton replied he would expect them shortly, as he’s been informed things are progressing quite well.
Mr Brady appeared in court via video link from Cork Prison.
His solicitor, Pat Mann, said Mr Brady had secured bail in the High Court and he could satisfy all bail conditions bar the address, hence why he was still in prison, but Mr Mann said he believes this issue is being sorted imminently.
Judge Waters remanded him in custody to 8th August, or on bail if he can satisfy the High Court bail condition regarding an address.
