Appealing Protection Order

Hi, 

Has anyone been through this process?

My ex partner was granted an interim protection order against me and I’ve been summonsed for a hearing in relation to him applying for a full safety order. 

The order was granted without my knowledge of him requesting it (as is irish law) but the statement he provided is complete fabrication and I have actual evidence to dispute every accusation. 

My question really is, has anyone been through this. I am waiting on legal aid to (hopefully) accept my application as due to covid and a reduction in pay I think I would now qualify for this as I previously didn’t. 

I intend to apply to the court that granted the order to get it discharged (either with a solicitor from legal aid or by self representation if needs be) 

Can anyone tell me how long might I be waiting for a date to have my application heard or is it a case that the hearing for full safety order (date in January 22) will come round first. 

Thank you for any insight. Just wondering is it as quick as actually applying for an order or not worth the hassle as the accrual court summons date will more than likely come round first.

I think you will have to wait for the court date to come around and then you can dispute what they say on the protection order

Protection orders are handed out like Smarties in family law

Nothing to worry about if your not lieing
