The church supply businessman was charged with dangerous driving at the embassy and criminal damage to the gates. He was granted €300 bail at the first hearing of the case. Mr Wisley has not yet indicated how he will plead.
The case was back before Tallaght District Court on April 26 however Mr. Wisley did not have to appear at the sitting.
The case was listed for directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions, but Judge Patricia McNamara heard Gardai were unable to obtain the DPP's decision due to a difficulty valuing the damage caused by the defendant's lorry.
The case was adjourned until June 21st.
