The Labour Court rejected the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union's compensation claim on behalf of 200 cash-in-transit operatives over the selection process for Ryder Cup work at the K Club. Its recommendation was dated 29 March 2007. The union said staff lost a fair opportunity to volunteer for the event and receive a €500 voucher. Group 4 Security said time pressure and the event's security arrangements shaped the process; it acknowledged the difficulties for shop stewards and confirmed procedures would be followed for future special events.
