Overview
- Enoch Burke appeared by video link from Mountjoy Prison after the court granted remote attendance for Friday’s hearing.
- Judge Brian Cregan ruled the court has power to seize cars used to drive Burke onto school grounds but said the step is unnecessary at present.
- The judge rejected Burke’s claim that he is jailed for his beliefs, stating he is imprisoned for trespass and can be released if he undertakes not to re-enter the school.
- Court proceedings were disrupted when Isaac and Seán Burke were removed after objecting to Enoch Burke’s virtual appearance.
- Burke is serving a fourth contempt term following his arrest at Wilson’s Hospital School, has previously spent over 500 days in custody, owes more than €225,000 in fines, and the case returns to court next week.
