High Court dismisses challenge against striking out of charges over Clery's redundancies

A challenge against a decision of a District Court judge to strike out charges linked to redundancies at Clerys department store in Dublin due to delays of disclosure of evidence has been dismissed by the High Court.

The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection had brought the action aimed at quashing District Court Judge John Brennan's decision in March 2018 to strike out charges against businesswoman Deidre Foley, co-defendant Mark Redmond, of Belfry Dale, Saggart, Co Dublin, and the previous owners of Clerys, OCS Operations.
