Defence barrister Alan Delany asked that the matter be adjourned to a date after Christmas.

Judge Catherine Hayden adjourned the case to next March.

Mr McMahon has not yet indicated how he intends pleading to the allegations.

He stood at the back of a packed courtroom while waiting for his name to be called, before making his way to the front, standing to the right of the judge.

He was not required to address the court during the short hearing.

McMahon played football for Dublin for 14 years, before announcing his retirement in December 2019.

In those years, he claimed eight All-Ireland Senior Football titles, 12 Leinster titles, six National Football Leagues and two All-Stars.

He has also won two Dublin Senior Football titles and a Leinster title with his club, Ballymun Kickhams.

McMahon owns a gym in Dublin, works as a strength and conditioning coach, as a TV pundit, and also as a mental health and resilience speaker.
