Teacher Enoch Burke has been arrested outside Wilson’s Hospital School after resuming his presence outside the school when the new term started. 

Burke was put into the back of a Garda vehicle and will be brought before the High Court.

While under arrest by at least three members of An Garda Síochána Burke protested that he has “a right to work” and a “right to be” at the school.

Members of the Burke family including mother Martina Burke and father Sean Burke protested that their son has “broken no law” and that Burke was being arrested because he “won’t endorse transgender ideology”.

Last Friday the High Court issued a warrant that Burke be brought before the courts to answer allegations that he was acting in breach of a permanent injunction compelling him to stay away from the school.

Burke, who was sacked from the school last January, is appealing his dismissal which is yet to be adjudicated upon.

Burke has spent more than 400 days in Mountjoy prison where he was held on contempt of court.

His latest release was late last June.
