Woman seeks barring order against estranged husband at Naas District Court

An Irish citizen, native of South America, alleged that her ex-husband locked her in a room, pushed her and struck her in the eye with his forearm. Her husband, who is not named in the reports, disputed her account and said he was hit in the face with a hot hair straightener. The woman applied for protection under family law at Naas District Court in County Kildare, and the hearing was reported on 11 March 2024, with no incident date given. Judge Desmond Zaidan granted her a barring order set for one year, allowing the husband to retrieve his stock from the house, and the court heard that he still lives there.
