Enoch Burke returns to Wilson’s Hospital school again

Mr Burke arrived with his father at around 8.40am on Thursday and was denied entry to the school building. He also attended for periods on Tuesday, when he was arrested before returning to the school, and again on Wednesday. The teacher was last year suspended and put on paid administrative leave pending a disciplinary process, initiated on foot of a report prepared last August by the then school principal Niamh McShane.

It concerned Mr Burke’s emailed objection to a direction last May to teachers to address a transitioning student by their chosen name and using the pronouns “they/them” and his publicly voiced opposition to that direction at a school event last June. He alleges such a direction is a breach of his religious beliefs.
