A grandmother has secured a barring order against her adult daughter who she claimed assaulted her several times after consuming alcohol or illegal drugs. <\/p>\n
The woman, who cares for her young grandchild, said her daughter (20s) will \u201cthrow fists at me\u201d if frustrated and has assaulted her in recent days.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen she gets alcohol or drugs in her and she does not get her own way she will start roaring and shouting at me,\u201d the woman told Judge Gerard Furlong.<\/p>\n
She was previously granted a protection order, which stipulates that the daughter must not use or threaten violence against her, but the judge agreed this was no longer sufficient. Furlong said there was a \u201chistory\u201d with this going back to 2022, when the grandmother was granted a temporary barring order against the daughter. <\/p>\n
The woman said she felt compelled to bring the barring order application out of concern for her and her granddaughter\u2019s safety. She said her daughter uses cocaine and some form of tablet.<\/p>\n
The judge granted a temporary barring order, preventing the daughter from returning to her mother\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
The woman was one of several parents who secured orders at a Dublin District family court on Friday after raising concerns about aggression and violence on the part of their adult children. As the applications were made on an emergency basis, each of them made their allegations without giving prior notice to the adult children.<\/p>\n
A father said he is afraid to go to work and leave his partner and daughters at home with his \u201cextremely aggressive\u201d son (20s), who is a recovering cocaine addict. The son is refusing to leave the house and will not accept psychiatric help, the man said, adding that the family is being held \u201cto ransom\u201d in their home.<\/p>\n
The father was not sure whether the son\u2019s behaviour was being fuelled by mental health problems or drugs, but he believes he is consuming tablets.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girls are terrified of him. I cannot go to work and leave my partner and kids at home … He flies off the handle for no reason,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
He was granted a short-term protection order to prevent the son from using or threatening violence against the family. The judge said the only way to stop the man from entering the home is to apply for a barring order. <\/p>\n
One mother said her daughter recently tried to break into her home in the early hours, immediately after being released from prison. While the daughter (20s) eventually left, the woman said she warned that she would return.<\/p>\n
The daughter had been serving a six-month sentence for assault on the mother, the court heard. The mother looks after her other children and her daughter\u2019s young child. <\/p>\n
Noting the previous \u201cserious assault\u201d, Furlong granted the woman a temporary barring order.<\/p>\n
Another woman, who was previously granted a protection order, said her son (40s) repeatedly hit her and \u201cboxed me in the ear\u201d in recent days. <\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot live like that any more,\u201d she told the judge, adding that she lives alone. Furlong said the garda\u00ed will arrest the son as his alleged activities would breach the protection order. However, he said it was clear that order is \u201cnot enough\u201d, so he granted her a barring order to last until her case returns in early July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A grandmother has secured a barring order against her adult daughter who she claimed assaulted her several times…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[36527,61,60,43],"class_list":["post-522249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-courts-service","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
