RedFM presenter gets injunction allowing him to continue presenting show
Summary
David 'Dave' Macardle, presenter of the 'Dave Mac's Drive' programme on Cork radio station RedFM, obtained a temporary High Court injunction allowing him to continue broadcasting from Dublin three days a week. The dispute arose after the station's new management demanded that he host the show from the Cork studio on all five weekdays, contrary to his contract which had permitted two days from Cork and three days from Dublin for the past 21 months. Macardle argued that the station's refusal to honour the agreed arrangement breached his employment contract and threatened his reputation if another colleague were to take over. The injunction covers the broadcasts on May 25 and May 26, with the case scheduled for a further hearing next Monday. The judge noted that only Macardle's side had been heard in the proceedings.
