Gardaí will not arrest Enoch Burke despite his continuing trespass on Wilson's Hospital School unless he engages in threatening behaviour towards a security man whose efforts to prevent him getting on the property has so far been unsuccessful, the High Court has heard.

Mr Justice Brian Cregan has said he would consider next week sequestering a car used by Mr Burke or members of his family which also got on to the Westmeath school's grounds. He would also consider whether contempt of court proceedings can also be brought against members of the family who get on to the grounds.
