Ireland Man accused of assaulting partner granted bail at Dublin District Court
A man in his early 50s, a non-national living in Dublin with his family, was arrested on Friday 31 January 2025 and charged with assaulting his long-term partner, the mother of his children, and breaking a domestic violence order; his name cannot be published due to reporting restrictions. It is alleged that he held her against a wall, pushed her onto a bed, pulled the covers over her head so she could not breathe, and threatened to post personal information online to ruin her reputation. On Saturday 1 February 2025 he appeared before Judge William Aylmer at Dublin District Court and denied the allegations. Sources differ on the outcome: one reports he was granted bail of €1,000 with €300 to lodge before release, while another reports he was remanded in custody with consent to bail, to appear again next week.
