Man denies stalking his ex-girlfriend in County Kildare

A young man who appeared at an in-camera (in private) sitting of Naas District Court on Thursday, July 27, denied ever stalking his ex-girlfriend.

On Thursday, July 20, his ex-girlfriend told substitute Judge Deirdre Gearty that she had broken up with her ex-boyfriend a few months ago after he assaulted her in a Kildare shop, and since then he has been stalking her and sending her threats.

Judge Gearty granted her a temporary protection order.

However, on the latest date, defending solicitor Brian Larkin said that his client denies ever stalking and harrassing his ex-girlfriend.

The man was granted bail by substitute Judge Alec Gabbett on the condition that he stay away from his ex-girlfriend.

The case will resume in November for hearing.
