ALMOST two years after he was first imprisoned for contempt of court following an alleged dispute involving a transgender student, Enoch Burke’s family turned out in protest in Enniskillen.
In September 2022, Mr Burke was suspended from Wilson’s Hospital School in Westmeath following a disciplinary process.

Mr Burke has since spent over 300 days in custody for contempt of court, after he refused to stay away from the premises of his former school.
