The Labour Court recommended double time for Dunnes Stores staff working on Christmas Sundays, with additional leave for employees hired before October 1994. The recommendation, dated 22 August 1997, concerned about 7,000 workers. The additional leave would reflect the difference between double and treble time, and the arrangement would apply retrospectively to 1996. The Court also recommended designating all four Sundays before Christmas as Christmas Sundays. The parties were Dunnes Stores, Mandate, the Marine, Port and General Workers' Union, and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union.
