A sitting Naas District Court judge was told by a woman on Thursday, December 1, that her partner had allegedly been secretly drugging her.
The woman told Judge Joanne Carroll that she was seeking a protection order against her ex-partner, whom she claimed had put antibiotics in sweets he had given her without her knowledge.
The woman said that she believes that he is controlling.
