The case against prominent republican Thomas 'Slab' Murphy was delayed for a week at Dundalk District Court today.
The solicitor for the Director of Public Prosections was granted a one-week remand to allow the book of evidence to be prepared. He said that since the case came before the court that a "large amount of documentation has been found."
The court also refused an application to relax a bail requirement that Mr Murphy sign on every day at Dundalk Garda station.
Mr Murphy (58) from Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, Co Louth faces nine alleged revenue offences following an investigation into his affairs by the Criminal Assets Bureau.
It is alleged he failed to make returns of his income, profits or gains in specific tax years.
Defence solicitor Paul Tiernan asked that the signing on conditions be relaxed as it was not likely his case would be heard in the circuit court before next April.
However this was objected to by the DPP, who said the Garda was opposing any variation in the bail conditions.
Judge Flann Brennan granted the one week remand and said he would not vary the terms for the coming week but would consider doing so in the future if Mr Murphy continues to comply with them.
He formally extended time for the service of the book of evidence and adjourned the case until next Wednesday.
