Lynn Egar, a woman charged with the murder of her children in a car fire in Co Westmeath last month, was too unwell to appear at a court hearing today.
Five-year-old Thelma Dennany and her two-year-old brother Michael Dennany were killed when the vehicle they were in went on fire at around 4pm on 9 September at Lackan, a townland on a rural road connecting the villages Multyfarnham and Coole.
Ms Egar, 48, with an address at Winetown, Rathowen, Co Westmeath, appeared before Judge Bernadette Owens at a special sitting of Mullingar District Court on 22 September after being charged with their murders.
She was remanded in custody to the Dóchas Centre, the women's unit of Mountjoy Prison.
The mother-of-four was due at her latest hearing at the same court, however, she could not attend or appear via video link.
The Prison Service provided the court with a sick note.
Judge Owens ordered that the note be shown to defence solicitor Damien Coffey, who was instructed to consent to a four-week adjournment.
Judge Owens remanded her in continuing custody in her absence to appear again on 24 November.
