High Court sets date to hear case between Enoch Burke and school

Mr Burke has raised issues in the substantive action, including the conduct of the disciplinary process and his constitutional rights

Enoch Burke (pictured) was released before Christmas without purging his contempt and has been fined €700 for each day he has attended the school since January 27. The fines now stand at over €29,000.

The core dispute between Enoch Burke and the Co. Westmeath school that wants him dismissed will be heard by the High Court later this month.

High Court judge Mr Justice Brian O'Moore has set March 28, four days before the end of the legal term, for the hearing.
