A fresh application has been brought before the High Court that could see teacher Enoch Burke returned to prison over his alleged ongoing refusal to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co. Westmeath.

During Tuesday's vacation sitting of the High Court, lawyers representing the school's Board of Management said its client is seeking orders for Mr Burke's attachment and committal to prison over his alleged refusal to comply with a permanent injunction granted by Mr Justice Alexander Owens earlier this year.
