Irish Teacher Jailed for Ignoring Court Order in Transgender Pronoun Dispute

Enoch Burke imprisoned for the third time after repeatedly defying court injunction to stay away from school.

  • Enoch Burke was arrested for contempt of court, not for his views on transgender issues.
  • Burke was suspended in 2022 after refusing to use a transgender student's preferred pronouns.
  • He has spent over 400 days in prison for violating court orders to stay away from the school.
  • Burke insists his actions are driven by his religious beliefs, which courts have rejected as a defense.
  • A judge has scheduled a review of Burke's case for October 11, with the possibility of release if he complies with the order.
