Protesting BATU members ordered to vacate offices

Members of the Building and Allied Trade Unions (BATU) have today been ordered by the High Court to vacate the union offices in north Dublin where they have been staging a sit-in protest.

Mr Justice Kevin Feeney also ordered them to take down the brick wall which was built in front of the entrance.

It follows an ongoing dispute between members and management regarding financial issues within the union.

BATU members are demanding the resignation of the general secretary, and want the union to opens its books to an auditor.

An interlocutory injunction is now in place restraining them from occupying the building.
