Burke Kicked Out of Appeal Hearing, Fights from Prison

Burke Kicked Out of Appeal Hearing, Fights from Prison

Author: The Daily News Now! April 24, 2026 Duration: 1:19

Enoch Burke, a history and German teacher, was removed from his appeal hearing over his dismissal from Wilsons Hospital School. The hearing, which took place in Athlone, ended abruptly with Burke being taken back to Castlerea Prison. Burkes refusal to use a students new name and pronouns, due to his religious beliefs, led to his suspension, dismissal, and imprisonment. Despite his efforts to ensure a fair hearing, Burke was removed by the chair, and his family was blocked by gardaí from intervening. Burkes legal challenges have so far been unsuccessful, and the Department of Education has yet to comment on the ongoing saga.
