The case against a man who faces drugs charges in relation to the death of model Katy French in December 2007 has been adjourned.
Trim Circuit Court was told this morning it would take three or four days to hear the case.
Russell Memery (24), of Yellow Clay Manor was in court. He had previously been charged as a result of a Garda investigation into Ms French's death.
Counsel for Mr Memery told the court there were a lot of other matters involved in the case and a lot of witnesses.
Counsel for the DPP said he "appreciated" it was a serious matter.
In a court appearance earlier this year it was alleged that on December 1st 2007 at the Statoil service station in Bracetown, Clonee, Co Meath he conspired with persons not before the court to possess a controlled drug – cocaine – to supply to another.
Legal aid was extended for Mr Memery. He was remanded on continuing bail to appear in court on February 2nd.
Ms French died in hospital on December 6th, 2007 after collapsing into a coma several days previously. A postmortem revealed she had suffered brain damage and traces of cocaine were found in her system. She collapsed at a friend’s house on December 2nd after allegedly taking cocaine.
