A bench warrent has been issued at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for one of the men previously accused of unlawful carnal knowledge until the Supreme Court ruling on the unconstitutionality of legislation last year.
Ms Melanie Greally BL, prosecuting, told the court that the man, known as "Mr G", had not been residing at his bail address for a number of weeks and had failed to sign on at a garda station as required by his bail conditions since mid June.
Mr Justin McQuade BL, defending, said he had received no instructions from the man who did not appear in court.
Judge Katherine Delahunt issued a bench warrent for the arrest of "Mr G" who is due to stand trial on new charges in January.
