Teacher Enoch Burke should be fined €700 for every day he refuses to comply with a court order to stay away from Wilson's Hospital secondary school, the High Court has ruled.
Teacher Enoch Burke should be fined €700 for every day he refuses to comply with a court order to stay away from Wilson's Hospital secondary school, the High Court has ruled.
This figure "should persuade Mr Burke to end his utterly pointless attendance at a school that does not want him at its property," the judge said.The judge agreed that returning Mr Burke to prison was "not immediately attractive." The school said it did not want to see Mr Burke returned to prison and asked the court to sequester Mr Burke's assets, arising out of his "wilful refusal" to comply with the court's orders or fine him for his ongoing contempt.
In his ruling Mr Justice O'Moore said that Mr Burke had insisted during the hearing that he has done "nothing wrong." On this evidence it would be "increasingly difficult in the medium term for the ongoing disruption to be tolerated" by the court.
