Bail refused after man alleged to have threatened to kill former partner

Summary

At Tallaght District Court on 2 October 2025, a man in his 20s was denied bail after being charged with breaching a protection order that had been in place since July. The charge stemmed from alleged threats made on 30 September and 1 October, when the defendant reportedly shouted insults and threatened to kill the complainant, her family and himself while she was shopping. The complainant, who had been in a two‑month relationship with the defendant, testified that she feared further violence and wanted to live in peace. The defendant denied making the threats, claiming he had only brought food and that the complainant had rebuffed him. Gardaí argued that the defendant's continued daily contact with the complainant posed a real risk of interference, and the judge, after hearing both sides, refused bail and remanded the defendant in custody for a video appearance at Cloverhill District Court on 7 October. Legal aid was assigned.
