How To Apply

Step 5
Respondent is served

The Courts Service or An Garda Síochána will serve the respondent. This means the respondent will receive the following documents:

  • A copy of the short-term court order
  • A summons for a full court hearing of the Safety Order, Barring Order, or both
  • A copy of your Information form
  • A note of the evidence heard at the court hearing

The court office will also send a copy of the order to An Garda Síochána for their records.

If the respondent breaches the order, contact the Gardaí immediately.
