Enoch Burke Released From Prison Amid Threats To Return To Westmeath School

Justice Brian Cregan labelled Mr Burke's latest court outburst as "nonsense".

Enoch Burke is being released from prison to enable him to 'adequately prepare' for his legal challenge against the disciplinary panel looking at his dismissal from a Westmeath school.

However Judge Brian Cregan insists the former Wilson's Hospital School teacher will be returned to jail if he breaks a barring order preventing him from attending the school.

Enoch Burke told the judge if he was released he will return to his workplace tomorrow.

To date, he has spent over 550 days behind bars for failing to obey the court order.

Justice Cregan responded by saying his ability to shoot himself in the foot was unparalleled in his experience.

Towards the end of the hearing he ordered his microphone to be muted.
