A judge has signed an emergency order requiring gardaí to eject a man suspected of beating up his ex-partner in front of two children from the family home.

At the Family Law Court in Ennis, Judge Mary Larkin intervened in the case after hearing that a woman and her two children were forced to flee from their home after her ex-partner allegedly assaulted her last weekend in front of the children and the man has continued to reside at the home since.
