Summary

In June 2019 a temporary injunction that had barred the owners and former operators of the Hole in the Wall Pub in Galway from transferring possession of the premises to anyone else was lifted after the parties reached an agreement. The injunction had been granted earlier in the month in favour of 15 former employees who had been dismissed abruptly in April when the pub closed. They had brought High Court proceedings alleging unlawful termination and had obtained an interim injunction against the pub's owner, Stephen Fahy, and his company, Stephen Fahy Ltd. The court, hearing the case on Thursday, was told by the defendants' counsel that the injunction could be removed if the parties consented and replaced with an undertaking. The defendants agreed that if the pub were leased to another party they would inform the plaintiffs within seven days of the lease's execution.
