Ireland Judge criticises handcuffing of man in court
A man appeared before Naas District Court in County Kildare on a claim that he breached a safety order, with the court report published on 2 June 2023. It was claimed the breach arose when he asked about his daughter's medical condition while she was accompanied by a grandparent, and his ex partner claimed the children were in fear when he tried to talk to them, a claim his solicitor, Matt Byrne, disputed. Judge Desmond Zaidan criticised the handcuffing of the man and adjourned the matter to 8 June, saying he would strike out the case on that date unless something else arose.
