Order given to re-imprison Enoch Burke.

Ordú tugtha Enoch Burke a chur i bpríosún arís.

The High Court has ordered secondary school teacher Enoch Burke to be re- imprisoned, and without delay, for his disregard of an order to stay away from Wilson’s Hospital school in Co. Westmeath.

Tá ordú tugtha ag an Ard-Chúirt an múinteoir meánscoile Enoch Burke a chur i bpríosún an athuair, agus gan mhoill, mar gheall ar an neamhaird atá sé a thabhairt ar ordú fanacht amach ó scoil Wilson’s Hospital i gCo na hIarmhí.

Judge Brian Cregan said in court today that Enoch Burke’s strategy was to provoke conflict, insult people and bully people.

Dúirt an Breitheamh Brian Cregan sa chúírt inniu gurbh é an straitéis a bhí ag Enoch Burke achrann a tharraingt, daoine a mhaslú agus bulaíocht a dhéanamh ar dhaoine.

Despite being fined and having security guards placed on duty at the school, the judge said, Enoch Burke refused to stay away from the premises as ordered.

In ainneoin gur gearradh fíneálacha air agus gur cuireadh gardaí slándála ar dualgas ag an scoil, arsa an breitheamh, dhiúltaigh Enoch Burke fanacht amach ón áit mar a ordaíodh dó.

The judge also said that Enoch Burke had a duty to obey the law, like every other citizen, but instead the teacher and his family sought to undermine the authority of the courts.

Dúirt an breitheamh freisin go raibh dulagas ar Enoch Burke géilleadh don dlí, cosúil le gach saoránach eile, ach ina áit sin gur fhéach an múinteoir agus a theaghlach leis an mbonn a bhaint d’údarás na gcúirteanna.

The Burke family carried out a coordinated and sustained attack on the rule of law in this country, the judge said.

Rinne muintir Burke ionsaí comhordaithe agus leanúnach ar riail an dlí sa tír seo, arsa an breitheamh.
