Man who was on a protection order tried to enter family home via skylight

The man appeared before the Dublin District Court.

A separated husband tried to re-enter his family home through a skylight after he was served with a protection order, a court has heard.

The man, who is in his late 30s, appeared twice this week before Judge Treasa Kelly at Dublin District Court. He faced a second charge on Friday for breaching a protection order within four days, and there was a Garda application to remand him in custody.
