Enoch Burke, an Irish school teacher, has been arrested and taken to Mountjoy Prison following a High Court order issued last week. The court found him in contempt for his persistent defiance of judicial authority and the rule of law. Mr. Justice Cregan, during a hearing in Dublin, described Burke’s actions, along with those of his family, as a “deliberate, sustained, and concerted attack” on the civil courts’ authority. Burke had been attending Wilson’s Hospital School, from which he was previously dismissed for gross misconduct, since it reopened after the summer break. The dismissal stemmed from his refusal to address a transgender pupil using their preferred pronouns and his disruptive behavior during school events, including a religious service. This marks Burke’s fourth imprisonment for contempt since September 2022, with his total time behind bars exceeding 500 days. Gardaí executed the court order in Mullingar, County Westmeath, on Tuesday after receiving reports of Burke’s presence at the school. Earlier last week, officers visited his home in Castlebar, County Mayo, multiple times but left without him. Burke briefly returned to the school on Friday, recording a video outside the premises, and was spotted again on Tuesday, prompting the police response. His ongoing legal battles and defiance continue to draw significant attention in Ireland.
