Mr Justice David Nolan said the long-running Enoch Burke saga has “preoccupied the Nation for far too long”
A High Court judge has given the green light for the Attorney General to bring an application “in the public interest” to enforce the payment of almost €80,000 in fines owed by teacher Enoch Burke .
Mr Burke’s salary, which is estimated to be in the region of €48,000, is still being paid by the Department of Education, pending his appeal against his dismissal from Wilson’s Hospital School. Mr Justice Nolan said that he was satisfied that the Attorney General is the appropriate party to move a garnishee order, “in the public interest”. This is in circumstances where the plaintiff, the school, was not minded to bring an application to enforce the court fines.
