Depends on the nature of the Order, but generally not.

The situations which most commonly arise are orders directing the arrest of somebody who is found to have been in contempt of court and attached by the court arising from that contempt or an order to arrest a witness who has been summonsed validly to attend at a civil or criminal trial. In either circumstances the Gardai are not so much enforcing an order but complying with an order to them to arrest someone.

ok thanks. so is it correct tht if someone breaches a court order the next step is to notify the courts looking for a judgement.
