A 50-year-old man accused of coercively controlling his former partner for five years of their relationship reacted to the allegations by claiming she was an alcoholic liar with mental health problems.

These were the allegations outlined on Wednesday by Detective Garda Paul Cogan, who objected to bail being granted to the man, who was arrested and charged with six counts, including coercive control, assault causing harm and four threats to kill the woman.
