He appeared before Judge Patricia Cronin at Dublin District Court and faced objections to bail.
Defence barrister Paddy Flynn, instructed by solicitor Martin O'Donnell, pleaded for bail and that his client would obey conditions. He had surrendered his passport.
Judge Cronin set bail in his bond of €1,000 but required the approval of a €10,000 independent surety before release. He was also ordered to provide a phone number to gardaí.
Once bail has been taken up, he must reside at an address in Kildare, not apply for a new passport with a phone number, sign on daily at a garda station and obey a curfew.
He was remanded in custody with consent to bail on these terms and will appear at Cloverhill District Court next week.
