Clerys inspectors urge High Court to dismiss probe challenge
Summary
The inspectors, acting under the Workplace Relations Commission, have asked the High Court to dismiss a challenge to their investigation into the collective redundancies of over 460 Clerys workers. They argue that the seizure of documents and a computer from D2 Private Ltd's offices in May was lawful under the 1977 Protection of Employment Act and the 2015 Workplace Relations Act, and that the action was in the public interest following the "traumatic" redundancies. D2 and Ms Foley have contested the inspectors' powers, claiming the seized materials were not relevant to the investigation and that the inspectors breached their clients' privacy. The inspectors maintain that a director's pack containing detailed information about Clerys employees was supplied by a D2 employee and that the pack was essential to the inquiry. The hearing before Mr Justice Michael Twomey is ongoing and is expected to conclude tomorrow.
