A 43-year-old man charged with the murder of Jason Doogue in Kildare last month was further remanded in custody on Wednesday.
Mr Doogue (22), had been sitting on a wall with friends on August 21st last in the Greenhills area of Athy when he was shot several times.
He was rushed to Naas General Hospital where he later died.
Last month, James Lammon from Cardington Way in Athy, Co Kildare, was remanded in custody after he was charged with Mr Doogue's murder. Mr Lammon remained silent after he was charged.
At Cloverhill District Court on Wednesday for his third hearing, he was further remanded in custody by Judge Victor Blake to appear again in four weeks.
Due to the nature of the charge a bail application would have to be made in the High Court.
Gardaí have made several arrests in connection with the investigation, including a juvenile male and youth in his late teens, who were released from custody without charge, while a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
