School may apply to enforce payment of fines by seeking orders over teacher’s assets
The first was that the fines are “too low” and the second is that Mr Burke does not really believe they will ever be enforced, he said.
That process arose from his publicly voiced opposition at a school event in June 2022 to a request form the then school principal, Niamh McShane, that teachers address a transitioning student by their preferred name and using the pronouns “they/them”. Mr Burke had argued the contempt orders were unlawful but it is not his role to decide whether court orders are lawful, the judge said.
“This self praise beggar’s belief,” the judge said. “There is much to be said about Mr Burke’s behaviour but it may be sufficient to observe that a person who has refused to comply with a court order for some six months has not behaved properly.”
