Overview
- The High Court heard a security guard twice tried to stop a car carrying Enoch Burke, with Gardaí attending the school on Tuesday morning after the second attempt.
- Wilson's Hospital School has engaged private security at a cost of €763 per week following a judge's suggestion, while awaiting a Department of Education decision on funding.
- Mr Justice Brian Cregan said he is considering making Mr Burke liable for the security expense and queried whether the conduct described could constitute the offence of forcible entry, with possible sequestration if others are aiding him.
- Mr Burke remains in breach of orders to stay away from the campus, having previously spent more than 500 days in prison for contempt, with daily fines set at €2,000 and a crystallised contempt liability of €225,000.
- The disciplinary appeal over his dismissal remains unscheduled as Mr Burke objects to panel members, and the case is due back in court on 22 October.
