The Court of Appeal has reserved its judgment in Enoch Burke's challenge to court orders, including an injunction to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath

Court President Mr Justice George Birmingham said, however, that the three judges would not delay in delivering their ruling.

In his appeal, Mr Burke said he could not accept"transgenderism" due to his Christian beliefs after teachers at the school were asked to address a student by"a new name and the 'they' pronoun".The German and history teacher also confirmed to the court that the student in question did not attend his classes, but argued that all teachers had some level of interaction with all students, either in corridors or acting as a substitute teacher.

When asked by Ms Justice Maire Whelan how he imagined interacting with the student in question, Mr Burke said:"The question before the court doesn't involve that".
