Enoch Burke’s father could join him behind bars for Christmas in Mountjoy
Enoch Burke’s father Seán could join his son behind bars in Mountjoy Prison over Christmas after being jailed for assaulting a female garda.
Seán Burke will spend two months in prison after he rejected the chance of a suspended sentence, when he refused to sign a bond stating that he would be of good behaviour and keep the peace for one year.
His imprisonment arose from a scuffle at the Court of Appeal on March 7 last year, when his son Enoch lost a case he had taken against his suspension from Wilson’s Hospital School.
Enoch has now spent more than 450 days in the Dublin jail for contempt of court, having repeatedly refused to stay away from his former school.
