Ryan Murphy, whose address was given as Curragh Plains, on the outskirts of Kildare town is being prosecuted for the alleged manslaughter of Ryan Weir Gibbons in Kildare town last October.
Mr Weir Gibbons, of Connagh Green, Cooleaghknock Glebe, Kildare town, passed away in hospital a few days after being found unresponsive at Magee Terrace, Dublin Road, on 26 October.
