The teacher at a Westmeath school was dismissed yesterday, following a disciplinary meeting.
The disciplinary process involving Enoch Burke is likely to continue - despite the teacher being sacked from his job.
He was formally dismissed from Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath yesterday, following a disciplinary meeting, and has 10 days to appeal the decision.
He was put on paid leave in September, after refusing to refer to a student by their preferred pronouns, and later jailed for breaching a court order to stay away from the school.
Courts correspondent Frank Greaney explains what will happen if Mr. Burke does choose to appeal:
