Three gardaí removed teacher from courtroom after heated exchange between judge and Burke family
On Monday, Mr Burke returned to the courtroom and sought to raise his concerns over the school’s application to correct certain statements made in a document it is relying on as part of its ongoing legal action against him.
Mr Burke insisted on being heard, resulting in an exchange between the judge and the Burke family that became heated. “You are not in charge of the list,"the judge told Mr Burke, who was reminded that was Mr Justice O’Moore’s job. Mr Burke persisted, and continued to speak over the judge. Eventually three members of An Garda Síochana physically removed Mr Burke from the courtroom.
Mr Justice O’Moore then resumed the busy call over of the list, and apologised to all other parties present in the courtroom for the disruption caused to the administration of justice. It was “intolerable” that people should have to go through that regrettable experience, he added. Arising out of his refusal to comply with a High Court order granted last September, Mr Burke was jailed for 108 days for contempt. However, he has continued to attend at the school’s campus resulting in Mr Justice O’Moore imposing a €700 a day fine on him
This is incorrect, the school says as the meeting had only been attended by one of the student’s parents.
