A woman told a court sitting that her husband moved a drug dealer into their back garden.
She made the allegation during a family law hearing at Naas District Court.
The woman also claimed that her husband is sending threatening messages to her and the children.
She claimed he has a drug addiction and she was advised by the gardaí to barricade their front door. The man was not present or represented.
Judge Michael Connellan granted her a protection order and said he would arrange for the garedaí to serve it on him.
The judge advised the woman to keep a photograph of the order with her on her phone so that it can be shown to the gardaí if the order is breached.
He adjourned the case to January 25.
