The high Court has continued an injunction for another two weeks against the Building and Allied Trades Union and former employees of the construction firm P Elliot and Co Ltd restraining them picketing a building site in Ballymun, Dublin.
Last month, five men undertook not to picket the site at Link Road, Sillogue, where 37 houses are being built, and the court also ordered that six others could not picket.
The court was told of alleged incidents and assaults since the picket was placed on the site at the start of last month after workers were made redundant by P Elliot due to the downturn in the building industry.
The workers’ trade union representative, Brendan O’Sullivan, asked the court to allow the men to continue a peaceful picket but Roddy Horan SC, for the company, objected, claiming there had been no notice of industrial action and a picket would not be lawful.
