A case involving road traffic offences against Mixed Martial Arts champion Conor McGregor has been postponed until next Wednesday.
Mr McGregor, 30, with an address given as 2 Laraghcon, Lucan, Co Dublin, was summoned to appear at today's sitting of Naas District Court to answer charges of speeding and driving licence offences in the Naas area of Co Kildare.
When Mr McGregor's name was called, solicitor Tim Kennelly told Judge Desmond Zaidan that he was not present.
Mr Kennelly said that Mr McGregor's defence team was seeking a summary of the evidence.
Judge Zaidan said the essence of the offences was summed up on the summons.
He agreed to postpone the case until next Wednesday, 28 November, at Naas Courthouse.
Asked about the serving of the summons, Garda Sgt Jim Kelly said that gardaí served the summons on Mr McGregor in person.
Judge Zaidan said: "I won't ask why he is not here but the onus was on the defence solicitor to inform his client to turn up for the hearing. If it is contested I won't hear the case in absentia (in the absence of Mr McGregor)".
The judge added that if Mr McGregor wanted more information, his solicitor could contact the gardaí.
