Two men have pleaded not guilty to a charge linked to the singing of a song mocking the murder of Michaela McAreavey - the daughter of former Tyrone GAA manager Mickey Harte.
A third man is also before the court but his lawyer asked for a week's grace before a plea is entered.
All three accused face the same charge under public order legislation - that they "used threatening abusive or insulting words or behaviour" intending or likely to stir up hatred.
The accused are Dillion Kelly, 22, of Edmund Court, Tobermore, Co Derry; Cian Jones, 23, of Craigadick Road, Maghera, Co Derry; and Steven Kane, 25, of Coolshinney Heights, Magherafelt, Co Derry.
Solicitors for Mr Kane and Mr Kelly entered not guilty pleas on their behalf, while Mr Jones will enter a plea on the next occasion.
The case was dealt with at Belfast Magistrates Court this morning. The accused were not required to appear in person as the matter is being dealt with by way of summons.
All three charged after a group of men were filmed singing the song at an Orange Hall in Belfast in May 2022.
The four-minute incident was live-streamed on social media.
It happened at a party after a march to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the Northern Ireland state.
The incident was roundly condemned by all sides, including DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson and the Orange Order.
Ms McAreavey was found dead in her honeymoon hotel room on Mauritius in 2011. She had been married just ten days earlier.
A total of seven people were reported to prosecutors following the incident at the Orange Hall.
The decision was taken to charge three people. The other four case files were not proceeded with after it was concluded the evidence was not strong enough to support a reasonable prospect of a conviction.
The person who streamed the video did not face charges. Prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence to prove to a criminal standard that they were aware of the song's lyrics as they broadcast it.
Several people were sacked by their employers in the wake of the incident.
Two took cases to an industrial tribunal but lost.
