Seven before court over water order breaches

Written By Unknown on Senin, 16 Februari 2015 | 22.40

Seven people are before the High Court for alleged breaches of orders prohibiting the interference with water meter installation.

The court heard that the seven were subject to previous orders of the court.

One order set up a 20 metre exclusion zone around installation works and another one prevented the interference with vehicles entering and exiting sites where water meters were being installed.

Counsel for GMC Sierra Jim O'Callaghan showed footage to the court, which he said showed a number of the accused within the exclusion zone and interfering with work at a number of locations in the Arbour Hill, Phibsboro and Stoneybatter areas of Dublin 7 on 8 and 9 December 2014.

The footage showed a person removing plastic barriers, a person backfilling an excavation, a person standing in front of a vehicle and a number of people standing around barriers where water meter installation work was being carried out. 

There was also evidence from employees of the First Pulse security firm who claimed to witness separate incidents of people shoving water meter installers, kicking a worker in the head and another worker being punched in the torso. 

Written accounts from the firm also claimed that people were seen stamping on pipes and banging on vehicles. 

The court heard that Operations Manager of GMC Sierra Neil Corrigan downloaded pictures and a video from the Edenmore Says No Facebook page from the week commencing 9 December 2014 that he claimed showed some of the defendants breaching the court order.

The video, which was played in court, showed people backfilling holes that had been excavated by the company.

A still image from the same Facebook page showed a number of people standing in water meter work stations with the caption "Blitzing of Stoneybatter".

Other images showed a person grabbing a shovel from a worker, people blocking a van and a person placing their foot where concrete was about to be cut.

Six of the defendants Damien O'Neill, Paul Moore, Bernie Hughes, Mark Egan, Richard Larkin and Derek Byrne are in court.

The court heard that a seventh defendant, Michael Batty, is out of the country because of health reasons. 

Around 60 supporters of the accused are in court also.

The case is being heard by Mr Justice Paul Gilligan.
