An unnamed man was convicted of kidnapping at the Central Criminal Court, as reported on 21 December 2016. The offence occurred in Longford after the woman had obtained a barring order against him.

The jury could not reach verdicts on allegations of rape and extreme domestic abuse. Ms Justice Carmel Stewart remanded the man in custody until the following month, when prosecutors were expected to indicate whether they would seek a retrial on those outstanding counts.
