Enoch Burke

The judge said that Burke must remain incarcerated until he purges his contempt and agrees to comply with an injunction secured last week.

Burke said he “loved being a teacher” and the school itself. Burke can do this at any time, the judge added. It is also claimed that he said that he could not agree with transgenderism, and said it went against the school’s ethos and the teaching of the Church of Ireland. Burke told the court that he did speak after the service, and that at the meal he again asked McShane to withdraw the direction. The order was obtained because the board claims that Mr Burke was not abiding by the terms of his suspension, which it is alleged he believes is unlawful, by attending at the school. He said that such a direction was “contrary to scripture” and was against the “ethos of my school and the Church of Ireland”, and something he could never agree to as he does not agree with transgenderism. However, he said that he objected to the school’s direction in relation to the pupil. The judge made the order after Burke told the court that he could not comply with the order, and that he intended to return to the school. The school claims that his refusal to comply with the injunction may be disruptive to the school’s students at the beginning of the new academic year. He said that his suspension arose over his objection to the school’s direction to staff last May to call “a boy,” as being “a girl” at the school. The judge said that Burke must remain incarcerated until he purges his contempt and agrees to comply with the injunction secured by the school last week. The order was granted after the school’s lawyers told the court that Burke was not complying with both the terms of his paid suspension, and an ex-parte temporary injunction requiring him to stay away from the school.

It is claimed that at the follow-up dinner Mr Burke did not sit at any table. The court heard the board does not wish to see Mr Burke jailed, but wants him to comply with the terms of the temporary injunction. Mr Burke said he "loved being a teacher" and the school itself. The school claims that last June a service and dinner was held to mark its 260th anniversary. The judge said that based on what had been put before the court, Mr Burke was in clear contempt of the court's order. Mr Burke, it is claimed, objected to this, questioned the school's position, has alleged that a belief system is being forced on students. However, complying with the orders would be "a contempt" of his own deeply held Christian beliefs which he said are "very dear to me". It is also claimed that Mr Burke said he could not agree with transgenderism and said it went against the school's ethos and the teaching of the Church of Ireland. Mr Burke told the court he did speak after the service and that at the meal he again asked Ms McShane to withdraw the direction.

Warrant issued for teacher's arrest after he allegedly breached an injunction preventing him attending school.

Mr Burke said he could not obey the order made after he had been directed by the school “to call a boy a girl” which was “manifestly wrong” and against his conscience. The judge noted Mr Burke had said the direction concerning the transitioning pupil was in conflict with his conscience, moral and religious beliefs and the school’s own ethos. That led to the BOM seeking his attachment and committal for contempt of the order and him being brought by gardaí from the school to court on Monday to answer the contempt claim. He said the background was Mr Burke had been informed by the family of a pupil that student wanted to transition and be addressed by a different name. Mr Burke was notified the report contained serious allegations and on August 22nd it was decided to place him on paid administrative leave pending the disciplinary meeting. School staff were directed by the principal last May “to call a boy a girl” but his conscience, Christian beliefs and the school’s own ethos prevented him doing so, he said.

Mr Burke will remain in Mountjoy until he purges his contempt or until further order of the High Court.
