The decision to remand someone in custody is made by the court on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific circumstances of the case. If the court decides to remand someone in custody, they will be held in a prison or other secure facility until their trial or further court appearance.
In Ireland, there are two types of remand:
1. Bail remand: This is where the person is remanded in custody but can apply for bail to be released while their case is ongoing. If bail is granted, the person must pay a sum of money to the court and agree to certain conditions, such as not committing any further offences or surrendering their passport.
2. Unconditional remand: This is where the person is remanded in custody and is not eligible to apply for bail. This is usually only done in serious cases where the court believes that bail is not appropriate.
Remand can be a difficult and stressful experience for the person involved, as it can mean being held in custody for a significant period of time before their case is resolved. However, it is an important part of the Irish legal system and helps to ensure that justice is served.
