David Drumm's hearing on his detention in the US has been postponed until the October 26.
The postponement was applied for today by the former Anglo Irish Bank chief executive’s lawyer Tracy Miner.
Miner told the court she needed more time to prepare arguments on why he should be released .
The 48-year-old is facing 33 criminal charges, including counts of false reporting, giving unlawful financial assistance, forgery, being privy to the falsification of documents, and conspiracy to defraud dating from his time at the helm of the bank.
Reporter Joe Stohlman was in court today and he says Drumm’s legal team had been scheduled to make arguments at a hearing tomorrow.
Drumm moved to the US in 2009, six months after resigning from his position at Anglo. He filed for bankruptcy in October 2010, after failing to reach a settlement on his debts.
Earlier this year, the Banking Inquiry agreed not to publish a written statement by Mr Drumm or hear his evidence by video link after concerns were raised by the DPP.
