GMC Sierra Ltd secured a 20-metre protest exclusion zone from the High Court on 5 November 2014, around Dublin sites where workers were installing water meters. The injunction prevents protesters approaching within 20 metres of the work locations or blocking the company’s vehicles from entering or leaving them.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said the order did not apply to residents or people carrying out normal daily business, including deliveries. The injunction remains in place pending the final outcome of the action, while an application for other orders, including possible jailing for alleged contempt, was adjourned for two weeks.
