Teacher Released After Jail Term | Dublin News

After seven hundred days behind bars for defying court orders and refusing to leave his former school, Enoch Burke has been ordered released by the High Court — a dramatic reversal following the denial of his appeal. The judge declared Burke’s employment permanently ended and his internal appeals exhausted, while still calling him an “unwelcome intruder” who violated court bans on trespassing. Though Burke claimed he remained an employee bound by duty to teach, the judge dismissed that as a “hopeless fiction.” His imprisonment stemmed from trespassing, not his views on transgenderism. With the school closed for summer, release now causes minimal disruption — but if he returns in September, another committal order can be sought. The judge will later rule on fines and potential bans for disruptive family members.
