Enoch Burke who was jailed for 'refusing to call a boy a girl' due to his Christian beliefs is still being paid his teacher's salary behind bars and has earned €72,000 in 18 months, court hears. (He can't spend it)
Well he was turning up for for everyday but the school wouldn't let him on their property. When the school took out a temporary court order to keep him away, it did not deter him.
For more than 200 days Burke - who claims he is being punished for 'refusing to call a boy a girl' - has been held in Dublin's Mountjoy Prison for contempt of court with no prospect of release as he still refuses to comply with the order - however on Tuesday, a court heard Burke has retained his teaching salary ever since he was first suspended.
