Garda Sergeant Jim Collins told the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions has sent Mr Quigley forward for trial to the next sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court, on June 11th.
The 52-year-old is charged with driving a vehicle without due care and attention, thereby causing the death of another person, namely Theresa Hepburn.
Mr Quigley, with an address at Windmill View, Letterkenny, did not speak during the brief hearing. Judge Eiteain Cunningham applied the alibi warning to the accused.
