Ryanair went to court to obtain an order against Forsa, the
parent body of the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (IALPA),
to prevent the Dublin-based pilots from striking for 48 hours on
Thursday and Friday.
On Wednesday, Ryanair's legal counsel told the High Court that
Forsa had not allowed for the mediation process to be completed
before announcing the strike and claimed the strike would be in
breach of an agreement made between the airline and the union
last year.
IALPA represents some 180 Dublin-based pilots who are directly
employed by Ryanair.
