A former priest from Newcastle, County Down, has denied sexually abusing a boy in the 1990s.
Daniel Curran, 64, pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault and committing an act of gross indecency with or towards a male child.
It relates to a date unknown between 8 August 1990 and 7 August 1995.
A defence lawyer told the court he planned to ask the court to dismiss two further similar charges, later this week, through a no bill application.
He said he also plans to ask the court to stop the prosecution on the two charges that Mr Curran denied on Monday.
