19th of July 1984, Mary Manning, a worker in Dunnes Stores, refused to handle fruit imported from South Africa in protest against apartheid, following a decision taken by IDATU members the previous day.

When suspended, she and other members of the IDATU union at the shop went on strike. The strike continued until April 1987 when the import of South African goods was banned.
