Darren Redmond (25) of Caledon Road, East Wall, in Dublin faces charges of assault and false imprisonment.
Luke O'Reilly (66) of Mullahoran Lower, Kilcogy, Co Cavan, was remanded into custody until December 3. He did not apply for bail.
A third man, who cannot be identified due to a reporting restriction, was remanded into custody. Judge Denis McLoughlin put a temporary order in place which restricts the media from naming him.

In September, the Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) executive was snatched near his Co Fermanagh home and brutally assaulted in September.
The father of six spoke out about the attack in a BBC Spotlight interview, describing how he had been slashed with a knife, doused with bleach and branded by his captors before being dumped on a remote road in Co Cavan.
