Enoch Burke to seek to halt Teaching Council inquiry into his presence at his former school

Isaac Burke said his brother would also be seeking leave to bring a challenge against the recent dismissal decision by the disciplinary appeals committee

Enoch Burke has spent almost 700 days in prison since September 2022 for breaching court orders to stay away from the school.

Jailed teacher Enoch Burke is facing an inquiry next week by his professional regulatory body over his presence at his former school, Wilson's Hospital in Westmeath, following his suspension four years ago, the High Court has heard.

Mr Justice Brian Cregan on Thursday made an order that Mr Burke be produced from Castlerea Prison before the High Court next week that he can make an application seeking to restrain the Teaching Council inquiry from sitting next Wednesday.
