A woman accused of defrauding the Department of Social Protection of almost €60,000 has been further remanded in custody.
Samantha Cookes made a short appearance via video link at a sitting of Tralee District Court today.
Her solicitor Brendan Ahern said his client was not appealing Judge David Waters decision to refuse bail at a special sitting on Saturday and she was going to remain in custody.
However, Mr Ahern asked for the matter be dealt with as a matter of urgency.
Judge Waters remanded Ms Cookes to 30 July to appear again via video link.
Directions from the DPP are awaited, the court was told.
