The application has been brought by 15 former full-time and part-time staff members of the Hole in the Wall pub, located on Eyre Street, in Galway City, which has been closed since April. In a sworn statement to the court seeking the injunction, Mr Swaine said the former employees have made complaints to the WRC following their wrongful dismissal without notice last April. Mr Swaine said his clients have experienced problems during their employment including alleged bullying and sexual discrimination. The former staff members claim Mr Fahy controls the company, which was their employer. The pub was leased to Stephen Fahy Ltd, which also held the seven-day Publican’s License in respect of the premises.
