Man denied protection order against wife
Summary
In a Dublin District Family Court hearing, a man who admitted pushing his wife during a drunken altercation was denied a protection order against her. He recounted that after a night out, his wife of 17 years began accusing him of being gay and visiting sex workers, and that a scuffle over his keys may have led to him pushing her. He also claimed she accused him of trying to strangle her the following afternoon and that she had tried to order him out of their apartment. The man acknowledged that his wife had previously obtained a protection order against him during a similar incident involving alcohol. Judge Ann Ryan noted that the criteria for a protection order were not met and declined to grant it, advising the parties to resolve their issues outside court.
