Case No. 17575Breach of protection order · Co. Kildare

Man before Naas court for breaching protection order

A man was arrested over an alleged breach of a protection order concerning his ex-partner, a woman, and was brought before Naas District Court in County Kildare. The incident date and the man's age and nationality are not given in the sources. The case was reported on 17 April 2024, when he was granted bail on conditions to sign on every Saturday, stay out of the town where the complainant lives and have no contact with her, and the case was adjourned. Gardaí said he was not abiding by his bail conditions, and the judge said he would not detain him any further, so the latest reported development is the adjournment.
