The Editor of the Sunday Independent has told the High Court he believes it was"eminently and manifestly possible" that Enoch Burke was annoying other inmates in Mountjoy Prison.
During cross-examination by Enoch Burke who is representing himself, Alan English accepted there were some inaccuracies in the article. He accepted the prison service had issued a statement to say Enoch Burke had been moved for"operational reasons". An earlier article written by the same journalist with the heading"they’re not liked around here" was also put to Mr English who said it was a"taking the temperature of the local community about the Burke family". He denied it was gutter journalism and an abuse of a media platform.
Earlier he said the paper had carried more articles that were favourable to Enoch Burke than any other publication. During cross-examination Martina Burke was repeatedly asked if her son had breached a court order to which she replied several times that the courts had a duty to uphold the constitutional right to religious belief.She replied that she did not believe he was in contempt.
