Man's bail revocation sought after alleged door-kicking at ex-partner's family home

An unnamed man is alleged to have gone to the home of his ex-partner in Kildare and kicked down a door, and gardaí claimed he was abusive and threatening towards her family, some of whom locked themselves in a back bedroom. Gardaí also claimed he was not at the address he had said he would be at on August 15 or 16. He appeared at Naas District Court after gardaí applied to revoke his bail, and he was told to stay out of a named area, not contact his ex-partner, and reside at a Dublin address. The latest reported development is that the judge told him he must abide by all bail conditions, and in a separate application the woman was granted a protection order.
