Case No. 10145Breach of court order · Co. Kildare

Man accused of breaching family law order, Naas District Court

A man in Kildare allegedly breached a family law order, with two alleged breaches of a court order, and the sources do not give the incident date. The woman, who is his partner, is not named in the sources, and his solicitor told Naas District Court that she had visited him in prison three times in nine months. He was denied bail in the district court and the High Court before the hearing reported on 7 April 2026. At that hearing the solicitor applied to have the case struck out, the sergeant said he still has a case to answer, and Judge Desmond Zaidan adjourned the matter, which is the latest reported development.
