Corkman's social media contact with ex-partner makes her 'feel threatened'

“I am entitled to go to the gardaí if I feel threatened… A peace-sign emoji—what’s that about?” she told the court

The woman said that between November 2022 and February this year she was unable to block him on social media because he would ‘like’ something she had posted and immediately block her. 

A woman with a safety order against her ex-partner claimed she was put in fear by social media contacts from him, including one of a peace-sign emoji.

The woman said at an in-camera hearing of Cork District Court for cases under the Domestic Violence Act that she was put in fear and that he had breached the terms of the safety order which only allowed him to have respectful communication in relation to access to their children.
