The man, who is in his 40s, will go on trial in October.

The entertainer, who can't be named for legal reasons, faces three counts of engaging in a sexual act with a child under the age of 17 in 2010 and 2011.

He applied to have the case against him dismissed, and the hearing for that application took place before Judge John Martin at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Judge Martin said in his judgement that for a case to be dismissed would require insufficient evidence.

He was not satisfied this was the case here and ruled against the man.

He was remanded on continuing bail until the start of his trial in October.
