Ireland Woman tells Tullamore District Court that man who exerted coercive control over her is 'a dangerous man'
A 37-year-old man has been charged with assaulting a woman causing her harm and with being intoxicated at Tullamore hospital, and the case is before Tullamore District Court in County Offaly. The date of the alleged offences is not given in the sources. At an earlier sitting the judge said the man could be released to live with his mother if his partner agreed, and at the sitting the previous week the woman told the court he had exerted coercive control over her for eight years and was a dangerous man. On 4 July 2023 the judge said he had heard nothing to change his mind about release, remanded the man in continuing custody until 5 July 2023 and asked for directions within two weeks, and a garda sergeant said the DPP had not yet issued directions.
