Security firm that made €10m profit gets interim restraining order over claimed 'malicious' winding up petition
Summary
Allpro Security Services Ireland Ltd, a security provider with about 1,000 staff and indirect support for 250 jobs, secured an interim restraining order from Mr Justice Mark Sanfey to prevent Top Security Ltd from publicising a winding‑up petition it claims is malicious. Allpro, which supplied guards at the former Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum for asylum‑seeker accommodation, had engaged Top Security in June 2023 at €21 per hour. Disputes arose over clock‑in/out records, with Allpro alleging a €5,000 discrepancy and later a €154,000 claim from Top Security. Allpro stopped payments in January 2024, paid €123,000 in March, and contends the petition would cause unjustified reputational damage and stress to employees before Christmas. The court granted the injunction and adjourned the case to Thursday.
