Sean Burke, father of Enoch Burke, sentenced to two months for assaulting a Garda after failing to comply with the terms of a suspended sentence.
Sean Burke , the father of Enoch Burke , has received a two-month jail sentence for assaulting a female Garda . Sean Burke had been given a suspended sentence but he opted not to obey its terms, so he had been brought into custody. The case arose from the Four Courts in March 2023 when Enoch Burke was appearing over a legal dispute involving his sacking from Wilson’s Hospital School. His father Sean and his sister Ammi were charged when rowdy scenes broke out both in and outside the courtroom.
Ms Burke was found guilty of obstructing a Garda but she successfully appealed that charge this morning. Her father Sean, meanwhile, was found guilty of assaulting a female Garda by knocking her to the ground and this decision stands. He jailed Mr Burke for two months but suspended this if he agreed to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for 12 months. Before this sentencing, Ms Burke was escorted out of courtroom when she interjected and attempted to speak in court
