Alleged former IRA chief Thomas "Slab" Murphy made his second appearance in court on tax evasion charges today.
The 58-year-old, from Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, on the Louth/Armagh border, was released on strict bail conditions last week after facing nine charges of failing to file tax returns.

Judge Flan Brennan at Dundalk District Court remanded Mr Murphy to appear again on December 12th.
Before Ardee District Court last Thursday, Mr Murphy was released on his own bail of €20,000 and two independent sureties of €50,000.
He was also ordered to surrender his passport, sign on daily at Dundalk Garda station and live at an address in Co Monaghan.
The state requested today that Mr Murphy, who sat in court dressed in a blue jacket and cream trousers, be remanded for four weeks on the same bail conditions. There was no objection from defence solicitor Paul Tiernan.
Mr Tiernan asked that the book of evidence against his client be ready at the December hearing. Mr Murphy left court by taxi.
