Schoolteacher Enoch Burke, who was dismissed from his position for alleged gross misconduct, has been ordered to pay legal costs to the Wilson’s Hospital School in their successful High Court action against him earlier this year.

Awarding the costs to the school on Monday, Mr Justice Alexander Owens made an order restraining Mr Burke from trespassing on the premises of the school in Multyfarnham, Co. Westmeath, but said that the German and History teacher was not prevented from attending outside the school gates.
