Case dismissed against woman alleged to have breached barring order against man while living on same island

A judge has dismissed a charge that a woman breached a barring order against her former partner on the island where they both live, in a case in which the man alleged she said: "Me and my people will destroy you".

The case, heard before Skibbereen District Court, also involved allegations that the woman had driven her car into the back of the man's vehicle outside a shop. Neither party can be named by court order, while Judge James McNulty also ordered that the island not be identified.
