Teacher Enoch Burke has been dismissed from his position as a teacher at Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath.

Mr Justice Conor Dignam said the applicant's intention to continue to breach court orders against him, meant the balance of justice tipped against allowing the injunction. Mr Burke was jailed in early September after breaching the high court injunction directing him to stay away from the school. On Wednesday, the High Court had refused to grant Mr Burke an injunction to prevent the hearing.
