Stone remanded over Stormont bomb attack
Stone, 51, spoke only to confirm his name during a brief appearance via video link at Belfast Magistrates’ Court.
He was captured on camera on November 24 trying to enter the parliament, as two security guards trapped him in the doors of the building.
He was charged last month with attempting to murder five people including Sinn Féin leaders Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams, both security guards and a person unknown.
He was also charged with possessing an imitation firearm, articles for terrorist purposes and explosives.
The court heard that prosecutors were still awaiting results of forensic examinations on articles carried by Stone, which allegedly included nail bombs.
Defence lawyer Darren Duncan said: “There is an adjourned High Court bail application. We are seeking an outcome in relation to the forensic examination.
“By four weeks, we will be seeking a timetable as to when the examinations are likely to be carried out and when the results are likely to be received.”
