Judge rejects Enoch Burke's 'errors' claims after family members removed from High Court

The judge said: 'Mr Burke is being imprisoned because he is trespassing on other people's property. No more. No less.'

In an earlier judgment, the judge said Enoch Burke (pictured) 'doesn't just trespass onto the school grounds; he goes right into the heart of the school, roaming around its corridors when he has no right to do so'. File picture: Colin Keegan, Collins Dublin

A High Court judge has comprehensively rejected claims by jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke that there were "errors " in an earlier judgment jailing him over his repeated trespass on Wilson's Hospital School in Westmeath where he was once employed.

Mr Justice Brian Cregan also reminded Enoch Burke, who joined the High Court by video link from Mountjoy Prison that he has the "keys to his own prison" and he only "has to give an undertaking that he will obey court orders — like every other citizen in the country".
