CONSTRUCTION workers who barricaded themselves behind bricked-up entrances to their union headquarters have been told by the High Court they must vacate the building.

Court orders bricked-in workers to leave

Carpenter Daniel O’Connell, of Donard, Co Wicklow, and his son, Daniel, were warned that if they, and “unknown others” inside the building, did not obey the court order an application could be brought to imprison or fine all of them.

Mr Justice Kevin Feeney made permanent orders restraining the O’Connells and other protesters from continuing to occupy the offices of the Building and Allied Trade Union (BATU) at Arus Hibernia, Blessington Street, Dublin. He also granted injunctions restraining any interference or damage to the offices or the removal or interference with any union files.
