A High Court judge has strongly rejected criticisms made by jailed teacher Enoch Burke about other members of the judiciary as "utterly without merit".

Mr Justice Brian O'Moore rebuffed allegations made by Mr Burke against judges who had made rulings in proceedings taken by the teacher's employer's Wilson's Hospital School in Co. Westmeath which came before the courts earlier this year.
