On Wednesday, Mr Justice David Nolan adjourned the injunction application relating to protests outside Ryevale House in Leixlip with liberty to re-enter.

A foreman was told by a protester at the location that works would not commence "unless the contractor was prepared to hit him with the bucket of his digger"

A new public water connection was to be installed and on March 3rd of this year, the day before work was due to begin, a foreman attended the site in preparation.
