Summary

A dispute between construction workers and the developers of a new school in Lucan, Co Dublin, has returned before the High Court. Last month, the trade union Unite and several of its members undertook not to engage in harassment or block entrances as part of their dispute with JJ Rhatigan & Co over the use of subcontractors to replace direct labour which workers say leaves them with less favourable terms and not being properly paid. This is denied by Rhatigans. Following the undertakings, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan granted injunctions restricting picketing at the site of a new community school at Kishoge, Lucan, as well as at sites in Lucan and Drumcondra where Rhatigans also operate. The order limited the number of picketers at each of the sites to between four and eight.
