Enoch Burke late for court as judge wants details of every alleged contempt
Summary
Enoch Burke arrived late to the High Court this morning where his dispute with Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath was mentioned before Mr Justice Brian O'Moore. The Co Mayo teacher's case was called at 10am, but he was absent. The judge adjourned briefly before proceeding at 10:08am without him. Mr Justice O'Moore directed the school to file a sworn statement detailing each occasion on which it alleges Mr Burke has breached a High Court injunction since the matter was last heard. The court also requested written submissions on costs concerning two motions related to Mr Burke's contempt findings following his release from prison and his unsuccessful appeal for a stay. Mr Burke arrived approximately fifteen minutes after the judge had risen. The injunction, granted in September, requires him to remain away from the school premises. Mr Burke denies breaching it and has appealed the orders. The full hearing is scheduled for later this year.
