Sean Burke found guilty of assault on female garda during Enoch Burke court appearance

The father of jailed teacher Enoch Burke has been found guilty of assault after a trial heard he grabbed and “flung” a female garda to the ground “like a red rag to a bull” after his wife was escorted out of the Court of Appeal .

They faced a non-jury hearing before Judge Michele Finan at Dublin District Court on Thursday, which ran from just after midday until nearly 11 pm, and heard evidence from 11 Garda witnesses. She thought that people had “lost the run of themselves” at that moment in time. She told him she was leaving him without a record because of his previous good character, but that did not undermine what happened to Garda Fisher.Judge Finan noted Ammi Burke’s occupation and that a conviction was a serious matter for her, and the height of evidence was that she went over to a guard and put her hand on him.

Last year, Enoch Burke’s brother, Simeon, then a barrister at law student in Kings Inns, was fined €300 at Dublin District Court. He had been convicted of threatening, insulting, and abusive behaviour after Enoch’s proceedings on March 7th, 2023, but he consistently denied the charge and has been subsequently cleared on appeal.

Martina Burke, Ammi’s mother, was holding onto a bench before being escorted out, and a colleague alerted Garda Fisher to “watch your back”. Mr Burke suggested that if she fell, it was an accident, and it was “completely inadvertent”, but she disagreed and said he had been aggressive and shouting about wanting to get to his wife.
