The jury in the trial of Graham Dwyer for the murder of Elaine O'Hara has sought guidance from the judge about the ingredients of murder.
They have now been deliberating for just over seven hours.
Mr Justice Tony Hunt told the seven men and five women that two things have to be present to prove murder - a state of affairs and the appropriate mental intention.
He said the prosecution alleged Mr Dwyer was guilty of murder on the basis of the causation of stabbing.
He said they had to be satisfied the accused had stabbed Ms O'Hara and they had to be satisfied the stabbing caused her death.
They also had to be satisfied that at the time the stabbing was carried out, the accused had the intention of either killing or causing serious injury to the deceased.
If they were satisfied the stabbing was performed with the requisite intention, thereafter they have to be satisfied the stabbing contributed to her death.
He said it did not have to be the sole cause of death, just a contribution.
The judge asked the jury foreman if that answered their question.
The jury foreman said yes, it did.
The jury earlier asked the judge in the case if it is possible to finish at 4.30pm today.
Mr Justice Hunt said yes and that it was entirely in the jury's hands.
The jury earlier resumed its deliberations.
After deliberating for almost five hours yesterday, the jury foreman said the seven men and five women had not yet reached a verdict.
Mr Dwyer, 42, of Kerrymount Close, Foxrock in Dublin has denied murdering 36-year-old Ms O'Hara on 22 August 2012.
