Photograph: Stephen Collins/CollinsA woman has secured an interim barring order against her husband after alleging he hit their teenage daughter so badly on her head she suffered concussion. The woman told Dublin District Family Court on Friday that he also “bit” into their daughter’s hand and she was hospitalised. An interim barring order excludes the man from the property for eight days, and from watching or being near it. A full hearing, which the woman’s husband is expected to attend, was set for a later date. In a separate case, a woman secured a two-year barring order against her adult daughter after she told the court her daughter had “bent my fingers back”.
