Judge says potential fine ‘should persuade Mr Burke to end his utterly pointless attendance at a school which does not want him on its property’
Enoch Burke has claimed that a court’s decision to fine him over his continued breach of an order forbidding him from attending Wilson’s Hospital School equates to making him pay for his “religious beliefs”.
Mr Burke has until just 2pm on Friday to purge his contempt of an order restraining his attendance at the Co Westmeath school pending a disciplinary process, Mr Justice Brian O’Moore ruled on Thursday. If he does not a daily fine of €700 will come into effect. It will amount to just under €5,000 weekly, and “should persuade Mr Burke to end his utterly pointless attendance at a school which does not want him on its property”, the judge said.
