“Meat Industry Ireland said today that 3,000 employees of its members have been temporarily laid off due to the continuing illegal blockades of factories and intimidation of staff and suppliers by protestors,” a spokesperson for the group said this evening. Talks involving all the parties directly involved in this dispute is the only way in which a solution will be found. Our members are calling on all sides in this dispute to begin serious negotiations to find a swift and just conclusion to this situation. Injunction In the High Court today, C&D Pet Foods argued that the blockade of its Edgeworthstown facility could result in more than 500 workers in the locality being laid off in the coming days.

At the High Court this afternoon, Mr Justice Garrett Simons granted C&D Foods a temporary injunction preventing protesters from trespassing, unlawfully blockading the plant, and from intimidating individuals going to and from the plant. Since the blockade commented, trucks trying to make deliveries from the plant have been prevented from freely entering or leaving the plant, counsel said.
