Enoch Burke has been sacked from his position as a teacher at a prestigious Westmeath boarding school.
Wilson’s Hospital School held a disciplinary meeting earlier this week following a row which started last year over his refusal to refer to a transitioning student by a new name and using the “they/them” pronouns.
It was held in The Mullingar Park Hotel on Thursday but was disrupted by members of the Burke family who were upset that the board of management chairman John Roger was absent due to illness and the gardai were called. No decision was made at that meeting.
