A man who appeared in court via videolink from Cloverhill Prison allegedly gave the two names to gardaí and was charged in both names, said Sgt Ruth Coleman.
Sgt Coleman told the court there are “difficulties his identity” and the Garda National Immigration Bureau, which is responsible for the enforcement of immigration law, has been contacted.
“We cannot confidently confirm his identity,” Sgt Coleman added.
The case was initially adjourned with the defendant remanded in custody, to appear again via videolink.
This is to allow the gardaí time to establish his identity.
