Beniamin Petre of no fixed abode was charged in Portlaoise District Court this morning.
A man is being remanded in custody after a video was published online, threatening to slice Irish babies and kids.
Beniamin Petre of no fixed abode appeared before a special sitting of Portlaoise District Court on a range of charges.
The court heard Mr Petre was charged that on May 24th, he published a grossly offensive communication on Tik Tok with intent to cause harm, contrary to the Harrassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act of 2020.
He was further charged that on the same date, he used threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to provoke a breach of the peace.
Detective Garda Mark Russell said he arrested the 50 year old in Abbeyleix and when charged and cautioned, the accused stated he "can't say anything, as you are not listening Mark."
Detective Russell added there may be further charges as he was seeking directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The defendant consented to remain in custody and his solictor requested legal aid, stating he was not in the social welfare system.
He will appear again in Portlaoise by video link on June 5th.
