Case No. 30136Assault (family) · Co. Kildare

Man granted protection order over wife assault in Kildare

A man told Naas District Court in Kildare that he received medical attention after being assaulted by his wife. He alleged that during a confrontation when she returned a day earlier than planned, she kicked him, pushed him against a wardrobe, and struck him with a mirror on his arm, causing a cut and bruising that required five visits to a nurse and doctor. He also claimed she abused his son and that pictures of her in bed with another man had appeared on social media. The man admitted hitting his wife after the injury. Judge Desmond Zaidan granted the man an interim protection order, noting the woman already held one against him, and both parties were prohibited from communicating.
