Judge Anthony Halpin has been asked to remove or clarify his comments by the Immigrant Council of Ireland

Judge Anthony Halpin made the comments on Thursday in Tallaght District Court.

Khadar Younis denied breaking into his divorced wife’s home while she was sleeping in her bed.

He pleaded not guilty to breaking a protection order and being in the possession of a knife while in the house at Fernwood Avenue, Springfield, Tallaght, on May 10.

His ex-wife Kara Ibrahim told the court she wanted to drop the case against him because he was a good father but not a good husband.

There was no evidence against the the dad-of-four of a physical assault.

Judge Halpin remanded Mr Younis on continuing bail to a date in September.

The Immigrant Council of Ireland has called on  Judge Anthony Halpin to clarify or withdraw his comments.

Judge Halpin had previously made headlines for putting forward the idea that the Civil Defence should be drafted in to help Gardaí keep the peace in Tallaght.

He also asked for a footbridge to be demolished this year after a young man suffered a fatal attack on it over the New Year.
