A man, who allegedly threatened a woman with a baby and two busloads of young children in Dublin while armed with a knife, was too unwell to face his latest court hearing.
Oisin Peavoy, 38, with an address at Granby Row, Dublin, was initially remanded in custody last month after a judge held he was a "danger to the public in his present state".
At a subsequent hearing, a "fitness to plead" psychiatric assessment of Mr Peavoy was ordered.
Mr Peavoy is charged with four offences on the morning of 28 May, including two counts under weapons legislation for the production of a knife at Gardiner Street and Parnell Square.
The other two charges are under the Public Order Act for threatening, abusive, or insulting words and behaviour at the two locations.
He had refused legal representation, and during a later hearing at Cloverhill District Court, Judge Alan Mitchell asked for a short psychiatric report on Mr Peavoy to address his fitness to plead.
The case resumed this morning when the Irish Prison Service furnished a sick note saying the accused could not attend the proceedings.
Judge Mitchell remanded Mr Peavoy in continuing custody in his absence and adjourned the case until 3 July.
