     1   Q.   Do you remember that you were represented at that hearing
     2        in the High Court?  Were you there?
     3        A.  I was not there, no.
     4
     5   Q.   Do you remember that you were represented by solicitors and
     6        counsel?
     7        A.  Through the union, yes, but I was not there.
     8
     9   Q.   Barristers?
    10        A.  Yes.  Well, I was not there, so yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Would you like to turn over to 1024 or 32?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   You made an affidavit for those proceedings, I think?
    16        A.  I did, yes.
    17
    18   Q.   You, Mr. Macken, Mr. Dowling and somebody called
    19        Thomas White; yes?
    20        A.  Yes.  There was a union official, Thomas White.
    21
    22   Q.   What was before the court were allegations of intimidation
    23        and violence of pickets, was it not?
    24        A.  Yes, so I believe, yes.
    25
    26   Q.   I expect in your affidavit you denied those allegations,
    27        did you?
    28        A.  I never saw any of them; and, what is more, I was not
    29        there when any of the alleged ones occurred.
    30
    31   Q.   Would you just look over the page at the order that the
    32        court made?  This is second time round.
    33        A.  Which page?
    34
    35   Q.   1024.
    36        A.  Yes.
    37
    38   Q.  "It is ordered that the defendants and each of them and all
    39        persons associated with them be restrained until after
    40        trial of this action and until further order from
    41        trespassing on the plaintiff's premises at Upper O'Connell
    42        Street and Grafton Street and from obstructing the
    43        premises, from using abusive and threatening language
    44        against employees or customers, or otherwise intimidating
    45        the plaintiff's employees, calling at the houses of the
    46        plaintiff's employees, picketing the premises otherwise
    47        than in reasonable numbers, and the court does declare the
    48        same in the circumstances of this case to be not more than
    49        three persons at any one time, picketing the premises
    50        otherwise than for the purpose of communication 
    51        communicating information, picketing the said premises 
    52        after the hour of 10 o'clock in the evening." 
    53
    54        Do you still say, Mr. Mrozek, that the picket was peaceful,
    55        non-violent and unintimidating?
    56        A.  When I was on it, it was never, it was never
    57        obstructive or violent.  There may have been shouting by
    58        some individuals, like, but there was never any violence at
    59        any stage when I was there, never; and I have never been
    60        abusive to anyone.
