Enoch and Ammi Burke were removed from the High Court in Dublin on 10 February 2023 after interrupting proceedings before Mr Justice Brian O’Moore.

The siblings had come to raise an issue in Enoch Burke’s ongoing case against Wilson’s Hospital School, although it was not listed for hearing that day.

The judge said he would email both sides with directions about the school’s application to correct statements in documents filed in the case, but would not hear submissions then.

After Burke continued speaking, the judge left the courtroom; the siblings refused requests to leave, disrupting the court list until gardaí removed them.

The court resumed its business after the removal. The report says the disruption delayed proceedings for almost two hours.
