Mr Redmond (78) replied "No, I'm not guilty" when the charges were read over to him at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on Friday.
The charges alleged that although an agent or servant of a public body, he received and corruptly accepted "a gift of money" on a date unknown between June 1st, 1987, and May 31st, 1998, as an inducement or reward in relation to the sale of a right of way at Palmerstown, Co Dublin.
The trial is expected to last 14 days.
