A judge has ordered that teacher Enoch Burke be arrested and brought before the High Court on Monday to say why he should not be sent back to prison after he again breached an order not to trespass on Wilson's Hospital School in Westmeath.

On Friday afternoon, Mr Justice Brian Cregan said he was prepared to order his attachment, or arrest, so he can be brought by gardaí to the court which will then decide whether to commit him back to Mountjoy Jail.
