An unnamed man challenged the refusal of station bail over an alleged breach of a domestic violence order in the High Court, reported on 10 June 2024.

He said the Garda Commissioner operated a blanket policy refusing station bail in such cases, and sought to quash both the refusal in his case and the policy. He also argued it lacked a legal basis and breached his rights.

The court granted him permission to bring the judicial review challenge on an ex-parte basis. The action was due to return to court later that month.
