Q
Make a complaint to the Garda Ombudsman.
Gardaí get paid enough to do their jobs.
Only excuse is if its a busy time.
Between 11pm-2am say.
Otherwise they attend.

I'm not so sure about some of the suggestions here, which is why you need expert advice. If you change the locks, he might well just put the door in or put a window in. My gut instinct would be to have some immediate local help on standby - a few fit young men who are neighbours or can get to the house immediately. But I'm not so sure that my advice is great either - so get expert help.
It might be worth going to the Garda station some time when there is no immediate crisis. Speak to a Sgt or Inspector, or maybe a female community Garda if that's would be more comfortable for you.
They eventually came like 3 hours later and advised us to get a barring order if my mother is willing to go through with it. I think it's the best option because this happens quite often.
Here is what you do with Garda:
- tell them to give you the Pulse reference number of your complaint
- watch the reaction.

but this is nub of the issue - because the violence happens within the home - the gardai can conventiently and frequently hide behind a "this is a civil matter" brush-off
Once this "gent" is out on the street, damaging doors and windows is a criminal damage offence- similarly resisting a garda or public order disruption is an offence - all arrestable by the gardai who are usually happy to do so as it is clear-cut for them
you really need to have a read of the non-fatal offences against the person act

it is only when someone engages in this behaviour in a public place that the gardai engage - other wise they cry off that it is a civil matter and words are cheap for all
