A court in Belfast will review the case of Damien McLaughlin in the new year as extradition proceedings continue in Dublin.
The 41-year-old, of Kilmascally Road in Ardboe, Co Tyrone, skipped bail late last year on charges linked to the murder of prison officer David Black.
He was arrested in Co Donegal in March on foot of a European Arrest Warrant.
McLaughlin was awaiting trial for aiding and abetting the murder of Mr Black on the M1 in November 2012, two charges of possessing articles for use in terrorism, two counts of preparation for acts of terrorism and belonging to a proscribed organisation.
At Belfast Crown Court yesterday, a prosecution lawyer told Mr Justice Colton: "Mr McLaughlin, as you may already be aware, is in the Republic of Ireland awaiting extradition.
"The court in Dublin earlier this week requested more information from the requesting state, ie the UK, and it is likely that further substantial submissions will be made to the court.''
Mr Justice Colton agreed to review the case on January 12.
A High Court judge hearing the extradition case in Dublin expressed concern last week about strip search procedures at Maghaberry prison where McLaughlin would be held.
Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly said conditions in Roe House "raise a real risk that this respondent could be subjected to inhuman and degrading conditions on surrender”.
However, she said she has requested that the Irish government provide details of body scanning technology used in the south, as well as further information from UK authorities.
