A woman’s former partner is hiding in the bushes near where she lives and looks in her windows.
The woman made the allegation at a family law hearing in Naas District Court and the man was not present or represented.
The woman also claimed a neighbour had told her he was “watching around the estate" and was “jumping around drinking.”
The woman claimed she was afraid for her child and told Judge Desmond Zaidan that he was never aggressive.
They had been together for a few years and “we decided to finish, more me than him.”
She said the gardai had told him to leave the area but he came back. She also claimed that the gardaí said he had been drinking.
Judge Desmond Zaidan granted an interim protection order and adjourned the case to June 8.
