BREAKING: High Court Judge blocks jailed teacher Enoch Burke from attending court in person
Prison authorities had initially planned (as normal) to bring Enoch Burke to the High Court today. This changed after barrister for Wilson’s Hospital School Rosemary Mallon appeared in court yesterday - utterly unbeknown to Enoch Burke or his family.
After this, it was ordered by Judge Cregan that Enoch Burke appear by video-link from prison. This meant he would have no legal support from family.
Today Isaac Burke and Sean Burke attended the High Court in Dublin.
However Judge Brian Cregan refused to give judgment in Enoch Burke’s case while Isaac Burke and his father Sean were in the courtroom.
Isaac Burke had asked why Enoch Burke’s name had been removed from the Mountjoy Prison list to be produced in person for the High Court hearing.
Approximately five Gardaí removed Isaac Burke from the courtroom for simply asking a question and subsequently removed Sean Burke.
This is Ireland in 2025 - “justice” is being done behind closed doors, contrary to the constitutional guarantee that justice be administered in public.
Enoch Burke has been slandered by Judge Cregan, who referred in his judgment last week to affidavits by “pupils and teachers in the school” in order to sully and blacken his character. These affidavits simply do not exist. This is treachery in the courts.
Judge Cregan stated that Enoch Burke was “stalking the school, its teachers and its pupils”. A stalking offence under Irish criminal law carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. It is a matter of the utmost gravity that a High Court judge would recklessly toss such an accusation against a young man without a shred of evidence to back it up.
Tragically, media present in the room — RTE, Irish Independent, Irish Daily Mail and others — are continually failing to bring true reports to the public.
