Gibney was extradited from the United States of America (USA) to the Republic of Ireland last year to face historical sexual abuse charges.
The Irish government sought Gibney’s return to face 78 counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape against four girls aged between eight and 14 at the time of the alleged offences.
Before his extradition, Gibney had not been back to Ireland in over 30 years.
He was arrested in Florida by US Marshals in July 2025.
It was previously reported that gardaí (Irish police) reopened an investigation into Mr Gibney after a number of people made allegations against him on the podcast Where is George Gibney? six years ago.
The criminal investigation was commenced in 2020 by a specialist team within the Garda National Protective Services Bureau.
A file was sent to the Director for Public Prosecutions (DPP) three years later.
The DPP examined the file and recommended that Mr Gibney was charged.
