'Interrupting' Burke removed from court

Teacher turns up unannounced again

- AODHAN O FAOLAIN

TEACHER Enoch Burke has again been physically removed from a courtroom by gardai for interrupting proceedings.

Mr Justice Brian O’Moore directed members of An Garda Siochana to physically remove Burke.

He was accompanied by his parents Martina and Sean and his sister Ammi at Court 3 in the Four Courts, where the teacher disrupted yesterday's call over of the chancery list.

Gardai were called on to take action after the judge refused to allow Burke to raise an issue in part of his ongoing legal battle with Co Westmeath school Wilson's Hospital, which suspended and purportedly dismissed him from his job.

It was the second time in as many sittings of the court that the judge has called on officers to intervene. On Friday, Burke and his sister were removed by gardai for interrupting that sitting of the court.
