Garda Aine Hogan told the judge that Mr Conlon made “no reply” to the charges.
The accused, dressed in a navy and yellow jacket, dark blue trousers and runners, did not address the court and is yet to indicate a plea.
His solicitor Philip Hannon said there was no application for bail.
Judge Murphy remanded the accused in custody to appear via video link at Cloverhill District Court on February 14, pending directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
His solicitor furnished the court with a statement of means, and Judge Murphy held Mr Conlon was a suitable candidate to receive legal aid.
She also agreed to direct medical attention for him in custody.
