Sergeant Maria Callaghan told Judge David McHugh that the DPP had directed summary disposal.
She said it will be alleged that Martin was employed in the Café in Marks and Spencer in Liffey Valley and that between July and August 2016, she removed sums of cash from the till totalling €5,832.

Judge McHugh accepted jurisdiction.
Martin’s solicitor, Simon Fleming, asked the judge to make an order for disclosure.
Making the order, Judge McHugh told Mr Fleming that with 131 charges there would be a lot of disclosure.
He remanded Martin on continuing bail for a month for a plea or a date for hearing.
