Jailed teacher Enoch Burke’s High Court defamation action over a Sunday Independent report when he was in prison for contempt for the first time in 2022 is to be heard next week.

Mr Burke is currently detained in Mountjoy Prison over his refusal to comply with court orders not to attend Wilson’s Hospital School in Co Westmeath, which dismissed him over what he says was standing up for his religious beliefs over transgenderism.
