Ryanair wins court bid to block Irish strike | Ryanair wins court bid to block Irish strike |
(32 minutes later) | |
The High Court in Dublin has blocked a proposed strike by Ireland-based Ryanair pilots on Thursday and Friday. | |
Ryanair's lawyers in Ireland told the court that the pilots union, which represents around 180 Ryanair pilots, had not let talks reach a conclusion before announcing the strike. | |
A London court is still hearing an urgent attempt by the airline to block a much larger strike by British pilots. | |
A judgement at that hearing is expected imminently. | |
In a tweet, Ryanair welcomed the judgement from the Irish court. | |
It said all Ryanair flights from Irish airports would now take off as normal. | |
Justice McDonald told Dublin High Court that he would restrain the pilots' union, Forsa, "from directly or indirectly, organising, directing or endorsing" a strike by its members on Thursday and Friday. | |
Forsa's lawyers had told the court that Ryanair had been "curt and dismissive" of a 30-page proposal it submitted to the airline on pay and conditions. | |
