Enoch Burke fails in legal bid to stop panel on his dismissal from school

Enoch Burke

The High Court has refused an application to defer an oral hearing of jailed anti-transgender teacher Enoch Burke’s appeal against his dismissal from Wilson’s Hospital School in Westmeath.

Mr Justice Micheál O’Connell turned down Mr Burke’s application that a disciplinary appeals panel, due to hear his appeal against dismissal, should be deferred pending the outcome of his application to the Court of Appeal (CoA) for a late hearing of his appeal against a High Court decision of 2023.
