It was Hickey's third time in court when he appeared before Longford District Court and where his solicitor Anthony Feeney made an application for the 'full disclosure' of all relevant State evidence to be handed over in order to consider his client's position. Hickey, who sported a blue Nike tracksuit to court, did not enter a plea and remained silent throughout the hearing. Judge Peter White acceded to Mr Feeney's request and remanded Hickey on continuing bail to a sitting of Longford District Court on October 21 when the accused is expected to enter a plea or seek a date for hearing.
