flag Teacher Enoch Burke, jailed for defying a school ban, was moved from Mountjoy to Castlerea Prison in March 2026 over safety and housing concerns, sparking legal challenges over the transfer's legality.

flag Enoch Burke, a teacher jailed for contempt of court after breaching a ban from Wilson’s Hospital School, was transferred from Mountjoy Prison to Castlerea Prison in March 2026 for his safety. flag The move followed the revocation of his "enhanced" privileges due to conduct during a court escort, making him ineligible for a single cell. flag Overcrowding at Mountjoy prevented such housing, prompting the transfer to Castlerea, where a single cell was available. flag Burke challenges the transfer as unlawful, arguing it violates a court order specifying Mountjoy as his detention site and claiming the move stems from punishment for his religious beliefs. flag Prison officials cite the 1914 Criminal Justice (Administration) Act as authority. flag The judge reserved judgment, noting Burke’s prolonged imprisonment and repeated violations of the court order.
