Teacher Enoch Burke remains imprisoned for over 275 days for refusing to use a different pronoun for a student at Wilson's Hospital School, with his appeal pending.

Teacher Enoch Burke, who refuses to comply with a High Court order to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath, remains imprisoned in Mountjoy Prison. Burke has been in prison for over 275 days, with his appeal against dismissal pending. The judge has adjourned the case to March, requesting the school's lawyers to consider alternatives to Burke's imprisonment, such as sequestration of his assets. Burke's imprisonment began because he refused to use a different pronoun for a student and opposed the school's direction, which he claims is based on his religious beliefs and opposition to transgenderism.
