Woman tells Naas court her husband punched her

Kildare Now reported on 12 August 2024 that a woman told Naas District Court her husband had punched her; the article gives no date for the alleged incident and names neither party, and her age and nationality are not stated. She alleged he held her against a fridge, shouted at her, moved his fist towards her face and said he could hit her and did not care about court, and she said she had bruising to her arms. She sought protection under family law legislation, saying her husband was breaching a safety order she holds; he was not present in court. Judge Desmond Zaidan granted her an interim barring order and adjourned the case, and the defendant is being put in touch with Teach Tearmainn, which is the latest development reported.
