Seven water meter protesters face prison term over contempt of court

Barrister Jim O’Callaghan SC, counsel for a meter installation contractor, told Mr Justice Max Barrett yesterday that unlawful protests were still taking place in breach of the court’s injunctions.
Initially, nine defendants had been named by GMC Sierra Ltd, which is installing the meters on behalf of Bord Gáis, in an application to restrain them from assaulting, intimidating or interfering with the workmen.
