The father of jailed teacher Enoch Burke has been found guilty of assault after a trial heard he grabbed and "flung" a female garda to the ground "like a red rag to a bull" after his wife was escorted out of the Court of Appeal (CoA).

Sean Burke denied assaulting Bridewell Garda Victoria Fisher on March 7 last year at the CoA in the Four Courts while his daughter Ammi Burke, 33, a qualified solicitor, pleaded not guilty to obstructing a garda who arrested her brother Simeon on the same date just outside the building.
