His application claiming his move was unlawful has been dismissed.
A High Court judge has ruled Enoch Burke’s transfer to Castlerea Prison is lawful.
He has now spent more than 600 days in prison for breaching a court order which banned him from Wilson’s Hospital School in Westmeath.
The teacher was moved from Mountjoy Prison at the start of the month, after he was detained there since January for contempt of court.
He had argued the transfer was in breach of a court order and had “no legal basis” ,but his application has today been dismissed.
Judge Brian Cregan says Mr Burke is now considered a “prisoner”, and under the Prisons Act 2007 can be lawfully confined in any prison.
He added Mr Burke “has the keys to his own prison cell” and is not detained due to his religious beliefs, although “it suits his political campaign against transgenderism” to pretend to the outside world he is.
