Overview
- Burke was released from Mountjoy Prison after Mr Justice Brian Cregan said the interests of justice required time to prepare his case against the Disciplinary Appeals Panel.
- The judge described Burke’s issues with the panel as substantive and credible.
- The release order bars Burke from entering Wilson’s Hospital School, with a warning of immediate re-committal if he trespasses.
- Despite that warning, Burke told the court he would return to the school and has now arrived outside the grounds seeking access.
- Burke has spent more than 550 days in custody for contempt over prior breaches, and the DAP challenge is due back before the High Court in early February.
