Mr Spollen-Behrens, a well-known figure in Irish business circles, recently left his role as director of the Small Firms’ Association (SFA), part of the employers’ body Ibec.
Court listings published on Friday show that he faces trial in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on Tuesday, November 1st.
The trial is before Judge Patricia Ryan and the Director of Public Prosecutions is bringing the proceedings.

“Ibec can also confirm that Mr Spollen-Behrens is no longer working for the organisation,” it added.
