Restraining Orders Amid Neighborly Nightmare | Dublin News

A woman won a five-year restraining order after her neighbor left a jar allegedly containing semen outside her door and engaged in other disturbing acts, while another woman secured protection from a stalker who claimed voices told him to be with her. Courts are seeing a surge in these cases — over 1,800 granted in the first year of new anti-stalking laws — though many involve neighborhood tensions, straining resources.

Other cases include a boyfriend’s ex-wife harassing the woman and sisters battling emotionally charged disputes, with courts hoping for reconciliation.
