JJ Rhatigan secured a temporary High Court injunction over a Dublin apartment picket, reported on 18 November 2014. The dispute concerned picketing at St Edmunds, St Lomans Road, Palmerstown, where the company was refurbishing apartments for Nama. Unite agreed to lift the picket pending the hearing of the injunction application, while the union denied wrongdoing and described its protest as lawful and peaceful.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan accepted undertakings from Unite and its officials and adjourned the case to later that week. The judge also granted a temporary injunction preventing anyone with notice of the order from picketing at the site.
