Graham Dwyer was refused bail at the Central Criminal Court while charged with the murder of Elaine O'Hara. The proceedings were reported on 10 March 2014.

Mr Justice Paul Carney refused bail. Dwyer's barrister Remy Farrell argued that it was unreasonable for him to remain in custody for about 20 months before trial, while Seán Guerin for the State said the delay was not exceptional.

A trial was set for April 2015. The charge concerns the death of Elaine O'Hara in Co Dublin on 22 August 2012, and the report said her remains were found in the Dublin mountains on 13 September 2013.
