Mr Gallagher added that there is a consent to an extension of the remand.
Mr Wilkin’s remains were found in the water on July 3rd following a week-long search for his remains at the popular tourism destination.
It followed a tip-off to Gardai that a serious assault had taken place and an investigation was launched.
A full post-mortem has been carried out on Mr Wilkin’s remains but Gardai have not released the results for operational reasons.
