A judge has granted an interim barring order (IBO) to a woman who has been effectively made a prisoner in her own home by her "controlling" husband, a court has heard.

At the Family Law Court, Judge Alec Gabbett granted the Co Clare woman the IBO, which now allows gardaí to remove her husband from the property pending a full hearing of the barring order case.
