Enoch Burke was dismissed from his teaching position at Wilson's Hospital School because he had intimidated and harassed a colleague and had breached the confidence of a student in the school who wished to transition, the High Court has heard.
On the third day of the action brought by the school arising out of his suspension the court heard evidence from teacher Ms Freda Malone, a staff representative on Wilson's Hospital board of management and the school's Deputy Principal Mr John Galligan about Mr Burke's behaviour at various events and meetings last year.
They both said that Mr Burke's behaviour had amounted to gross misconduct that merited the decision to suspend and dismiss him.
