The Labour Court recommended a fresh assessment of the Gleneagle Hotel’s finances in its pay dispute with the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union. It said an earlier report and its supporting data were no longer current enough to support a definitive recommendation. The union argued the hotel could afford the Sustaining Progress increases, pointing to €500,000 invested in bedroom upgrades. The hotel cited difficult trading conditions, rising costs and €26 million in debt. The recommendation was signed on 7 February 2008. The Court said it would issue a definitive recommendation if the parties could not agree after the new assessment.
