SIPTU facing costs bill for strike injunction

Summary

SIPTU was ordered to pay the costs incurred by the DAA and Ryanair for their successful injunction applications that prevented a four‑hour stoppage at Dublin Shannon and Cork airports. Judge Paul Gilligan ruled that the airline and the airport authority were entitled to their legal costs, and he placed a stay on the costs orders pending the outcome of the full action between the parties. Lawyers for Ryanair and the DAA had sought their costs because the court had issued orders preventing the strike, while SIPTU opposed the costs order, arguing it would be "draconian" and that the issue should be left until the case was decided. The judge noted that Ryanair had raised issues not brought by the DAA, so it was also entitled to its costs. The judge urged all sides to resolve the pension dispute.
