Burke’s mother and sister may face jail or fines for disrupting a Dublin court hearing over his 2022 school dispute, while his legal costs are referred to an adjudicator.
Enoch Burke’s mother and sister face potential jail or fines after being removed from a Dublin High Court hearing for disrupting proceedings.
The court is assessing whether their actions during a contempt of court hearing warranted penalties, while also referring the amount Burke must pay in legal costs—estimated at €31,549.14—to a legal adjudicator.
The dispute stems from a 2022 school incident where Burke, an evangelical Christian teacher, opposed using a student’s new name and pronouns, claiming it violated his religious beliefs.
He has been imprisoned since 2023 for contempt due to repeated trespasses at the school despite court orders.
The judge emphasized Burke was jailed for trespassing, not his beliefs, and reserved judgment on all matters.
