Photograph: Colin Keegan, Collins DublinEvangelical Christian teacher Enoch Burke has been jailed for the third time over his refusal to comply with a court order and stay away from Wilson’s Hospital School in Co Westmeath.
Mr Burke was brought to the court on Monday evening following his arrest at the school’s campus that afternoon. After the judge ordered that Mr Burke be sent back to prison, the teacher said that he would “have to answer to God.” The school said the teacher had attended every school day at Wilson’s Hospital since August 22nd last, which it said was “disruptive” to staff and students.
The school was particularly concerned over an alleged incident where it is claimed that Mr Burke entered into a room in the school’s main building where teachers were holding a staff meeting.
