Woman claims Kildare gardaí didn't arrest her garda partner after breach
Naas District Court heard the allegation that the breach related to a protection order
A woman alleged at Naas District Court that her garda partner was not arrested even though he had breached a family law order.
The woman alleged the man has engaged in sexual and emotional abuse.
She alleged an interim protection order is in place and breach of this is not being investigated.
She also alleged that six gardaí came to the home after the breach but the man was not detained.
She claimed she had a video of her husband at the house and she brought pictures to court, which allegedly showed him there.
The man was not present or represented at the hearing.
Judge Desmond Zaidan said the gardaí had failed to give effect to the order - if the woman was correct.
The judge told the woman that the gardaí are independent of him (the judge) and if they believe there is a case to answer they are “duty bound to open a file and arrest him.”
The matter was initially adjourned for two weeks.
