Judge refuses to continue interim order requiring Garda Commissioner to return Tom Ronan to position

In his decision, he said he would continue the interim order until February 26th when his revocation order will be formally made and the question of costs can be dealt with. While Mr Ronan claimed the statutory process was being undermined if he did not get the injunction, “what he really means is that he may not get the benefit of an order which is the subject of an appeal”.If the Labour Court agrees with the WRC decision, Mr Ronan will obtain the benefit of that remedy, he said. However, that is a matter for the Labour Court and the High Court “cannot simply assume” that it will order his re-engagement.
He was not persuaded that there is any jurisdiction to grant the injunction sought in aid of the statutory process.
