Court rules that school was correct to suspend Enoch Burke - and is entitled to damages and a permanent ban

A High Court judge has ruled that evangelical Christian Enoch Burke was lawfully suspended from his teaching position at Wilson's Hospital secondary school.

In a judgement on Friday Mr Justice Alexander Owens also ruled that the school is also entitled to a permanent injunction prohibiting him from attending at its premises, and damages of €15,000 for his continuing trespass at the school's campus.

The judge said that the damages were in addition to the daily €700 fine that have been imposed by the High Court on Mr Burke several months ago for his ongoing breach of earlier orders requiring him to stay away from the school's premises in Multyfarnham in Co Westmeath.
