The High Court has ordered that immediate steps be taken to serve papers on teacher Enoch Burke seeking his return to prison after he again breached an order not to trespass on Wilson's Hospital School in Westmeath.

On Thursday afternoon, Mr Justice Brian Cregan granted Rosemary Mallon BL, for the school, permission for short service of proceedings seeking his attachment and committal to prison for breaching a previous order not the trespass.
