A 32-year-old man has appeared in court charged in relation to the alleged abduction of an An Post worker in Drogheda in 2011.
Jonathan Gill with an address on the Malahide Road in Dublin faces three charges of false imprisonment and one charge of stealing €661,125 from An Post at West Street, Drogheda, Co Louth.
The false imprisonment of three people is alleged to have taken place at a location in the State between 1 and 2 August 2011.
The robbery of the post office in Drogheda is alleged to have taken place on 2 August 2011.
Garda Sergeant Fearghal O'Toole gave evidence of arresting Mr Gill at his Malahide Road address and bringing him to Drogheda Garda Station.
He told Drogheda District Court that when the four charges were put to him, Mr Gill made no reply.
Sgt O'Toole said he was applying for Mr Gill to be remanded in custody to appear again in court in Cloverhill next Tuesday.
Defence barrister Irene Sands told Judge Michael Coghlan "there is no application for bail at this time", but she anticipates bail will be applied for at next week's court appearance.
She also submitted a statement of means for the accused as part of an application for legal aid and Judge Coghlan said he was reserving a decision for the time being.
