The court heard the accused man has been charged with dangerous driving causing the death of Mr Duggan. There was an alleged speeding dimension to the fatal collision.
Garda Damien Callinan told Judge James O’Connor the Director of Public Prosecutions had directed trial on indictment, meaning it would proceed before the Circuit Court.
He added when the charge was put to the accused man and he was asked whether he had anything to say he replied: “No”.
The case was adjourned to July, at which point the book of evidence was expected to be ready for the trial.
