Family members excluded from court review of Enoch Burke's refusal to stay away from school

Enoch Burke claimed to have been dragged from his cell and said he had no advance warning of the application to exclude members of his family from next week's court proceedings.

A High Court judge has excluded several members of Enoch Burke's family from attending next week's review of the teacher's on-going refusal to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath.

At the High Court on Friday Mr Justice Mark Sanfey ruled that Sean, Martina, Isaac, and Ammi Burke could not attend because of disruptive behaviour, which the judge said involved them shouting and roaring on previous occasions before the court.
