Father breaches barring order by speaking to teen daughter on street

A 56-year-old man faced sentencing yesterday arising out of an incident where he called out his teenaged daughter’s name as she passed him on the street and said he loved her.

The case was dealt with at an in camera hearing of Cork District Court yesterday and it concerned the breach of a barring order. The man had a barring order against him so is not allowed to contact his wife or children.
