Dublin City Council debated and passed an emergency motion tabled by Emer Costello Lord Mayor of Dublin in support of the MTL strikers.

'The council said it was "deeply concerned" at the lengthy dispute between Siptu and MTL, which is now in its tenth week. It said MTL had exacerbated the situation by obtaining High Court injunctions against protesters, trade union leaders and members of the local community.

"The company's refusal to engage in full industrial relations procedures has aggravated the situation and severely damaged trade in Dublin Port. We therefore call on the Dublin Port Company, as the landlord of the facility and provider of essential services, to use all of the power at its disposal to persuade MTL to engage meaningfully with the workers and SIPTU in order to bring the dispute to a satisfactory and speedy resolution.

"We further call on the Tanaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Ms Mary Coughlin, to ensure her Department and the dispute resolution machinery of the state deploy all their resources to help achieve this objective, including ensuring that MTL complies fully with the employment law of this state."

The motion was unanimously supported by the Labour Party, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin, along with independent councillors.'
