The man’s bail was revoked this morning when he appeared before Dublin District Court on other unrelated matters.
Judge Michael Walsh heard the DPP has directed he be tried before a judge and jury at the Central Criminal Court.
He has been remanded in custody for a week and will undergo a psychiatric assessment amid concerns raised by his solicitor for his mental well-being.
