A DUBLIN MAN has denied claims that he used his car to drive his ex-partner’s vehicle into a barrier before a stand-off with armed gardaí. At Dublin District Court today, Judge Áine Clancy heard that the accused had been subject to the order since November last year. The judge noted that the objection to bail was grounded in witness interference concerns. He said that he was a carer for a sick relative and that the woman had recently sent him a card saying “ha, ha, ha” after one of his family members died and had been standing outside his house. The judge noted that most of them were issued several years ago and there had been just one in the past year.
