Wilson’s Hospital School claims teacher has attended campus every school-day since August 22nd
A judge has ordered teacher Enoch Burke to appear before the High Court over his alleged failure to stay away and not trespass at Wilson’s Hospital School in Co Westmeath.
Mr Justice Barry O’Donnell, during Friday’s vacation sitting of the Court, said that Mr Burke “clearly has a case to answer” in relation to the school’s claims that he is breaching an injunction granted by Mr Justice Alexander Owens last year.
During the brief hearing, the judge directed members of An Garda Síochána to remove both individuals after they attempted to interrupt the judge. The judge also said that he was only making an order directing that Mr Burke be brought before the court and no further orders in the matter at this point in time.
Counsel said another concern was that other third parties, who are not journalists and are believed to be supporters of Mr Burke, have also started attending at the school. The German and history teacher was released from Mountjoy Prison, where he has spent over 400 days in two different stints, in late June without purging his contempt.
