Mark Cassidy leaving Letterkenny District Court today.
A Derry man charged with having explosives in Co Donegal was again remanded in custody when he appeared in court today.
Mark Cassidy, a member of the Irish Defence Forces, is charged with possession of explosives in suspicious circumstances on 17 February last.
Cassidy, originally from Derry but with an address at Apartment 3, Grianan Vale, Ballyderowen, Burnfoot is further charged with unauthorised possession of ammunition on the same date.
During a brief appearance at Letterkenny District Court, the prosecution said the book of evidence in the case was almost ready.
Inspector Goretti Sheridan said the majority of the work in the investigation had been done with the exception of two forensic reports which were awaited from Dublin.
Defence barrister Peter Nolan said he could not oppose an extension of the remand in custody adding it was “quite a complicated case”.
Cassidy was remanded in custody to appear at Harristown District Court on Friday.
