Woman alleges death threat in church at Naas court

A woman has alleged that her ex-partner, a man, told her in a County Kildare church that he would finish her, though the reporting does not give the incident date. She also alleged that he was physically, verbally, mentally and sexually abusive towards her during their relationship, which lasted over a decade and produced children together. No criminal charge is mentioned in the reporting. On Thursday, January 25, 2024, she applied to Judge Desmond Zaidan at Naas District Court for an interim protection order, heard in private. The judge granted the order, which also covers her children, until the case resumes at a later date.
