Woman granted safety order after ex posted picture of her on Facebook

A judge has granted a safety order to a Co Clare woman after her former fiance breached a court undertaking by posting a photo of her and making negative comments about the woman on Facebook.

At the family court in Ennis, Judge Patrick Durcan said the man was “an absolutely unreliable person” and what he did was “nothing short of appalling.”

Granting the safety order for three years, Judge Durcan said “it is so sad that a man of his age and position engages in this type of activity”.
