Following a brief hearing at Dublin District Court on July 27th, he was remanded in custody.
Due to the nature of the charge a bail application could only be made in the High Court in Cloverhill, where it was listed on Tuesday. It was assigned a priority time to be heard on September 3rd next.
The accused, who was unemployed, had been granted legal aid earlier.
The deceased was the eldest of four children in a family from the Rossfield area of Tallaght, about a kilometre from the scene.
