A woman told Naas Family Law Court how she is 'genuinely afraid' that the father of her children will come to her house and break the windows.
The court heard how her ex-partner and father to her children is a heroin user.
She alleged that recently he threatened to beat her up.
The woman said: "I think it is a real threat. I am genuinely afraid, I know what he is capable of. I am afraid for myself and my children."
Judge Miriam Walsh granted a Protection Order.
