The father of jailed teacher Enoch Burke has told a judge he does not recollect throwing a female garda to the ground in the Court of Appeal (CoA) and claimed it was "completely accidental" if it did happen.

Sean Burke, who is in his 60s, denies assaulting Bridewell Garda Victoria Fisher in the Four Courts on March 7 last year. His daughter Ammi Burke, 33, a qualified solicitor, pleads not guilty to obstructing a garda who arrested her brother Simeon Burke, 25, on the same date just outside the building.
