A man has told a court his "paranoid" wife did not allow him to have a shower on a Thursday as she believed he was going to meet someone after work the following day.

At the Family Law Court in Ennis, Judge Alec Gabbett granted the man a Protection Order under the Domestic Violence Act after the man said he feared for his safety and mental health in the marriage and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown due to constant physical, emotional and verbal abuse.
