Following his arrest on Saturday, and while in Garda custody, Mr Shannon complained that he was feeling ill and was brought to St James's Hospital.
Judge Cormac Dunne had been told that Mr Shannon was taken into the care of a cardiologist at the hospital and could not be brought to court yesterday. The case was adjourned until a late sitting and Mr Shannon was then brought before the court.

Counsel requested free legal aid and explained Mr Shannon was in receipt of a disability payment. The judge agreed after noting that there was no garda objection. He remanded Mr Shannon, who has not yet indicated how he will plead to the charge, in custody to appear again at Cloverhill District Court on Friday.
