This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The Court of Appeal refused to admit Enoch Burke’s parents and siblings to its hearing on 15 January 2024, after they did not undertake to avoid interruptions.

The excluded family members were Sean, Martina, Ammi and Isaac Burke. Enoch Burke took part by video link after declining to undertake to accept the court’s rulings and refrain from interrupting or arguing.

The hearing concerned the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission’s request for audio recordings made after an earlier hearing ended. Counsel for the Commission said they were required for a criminal investigation; Enoch Burke objected that recordings made after the court rose were not a record of proceedings.
