Woman recorded partner who drove drunk to her home, Naas court told

A woman told Naas District Court in Kildare that her partner, a man, drove to her home while drunk, and that she recorded him. She alleged that he became aggressive, threatened her, and made further threats and assaults in earlier incidents, though these are unproven allegations. The man was not present or represented at the hearing, which was reported on 9 June 2026. The latest development is that Judge John Brennan granted an interim protection order.
