The court heard that Mr Burke is currently in an empty classroom at Wilson's Hospital school despite the injunction. He was placed on admin leave after allegedly publicly confronting the principal to voice his opposition to a request to address a pupil with "they" pronoun.

Ms Mallon said this was not about Mr Burke's beliefs but about his alleged conduct. The principal had expressed serious concerns about how he might act in the school in the future.

Barrister Rosemary Mallon said the case was in court because Enoch Burke was a teacher who ignored the nature and effect of the lawful decision of the school's board of management to suspend him on pay pending the outcome of the disciplinary process. @rtenews

Please watch this on the player if you can. Gut-wrenching. A reminder of what so many have gone through and what we could yet face.

@pbradie @rtenews As you will see from the story on our website, Brooklyn's mother, Sonia, was extremely anxious to acknowledge her son publicly. She said she felt the law as it previously stood, protected her son's killer and silenced her and other parents.

Teacher Enoch Burke is in the High Court waiting for the proceedings against him to start. His employer claims he's in contempt of court for breaching an injunction preventing him from attending at the school premises.

I was in local park today with my kids. Everyone strictly observing social distancing rules and giving other family or solo walkers a very wide berth. We played football in an empty playing field. A lockdown will be horrible for people's mental health although may have to happen.

Many ppl who go walking in parks etc together, and don’t social distance from each other, probably live together. As long as they keep distance from others, they’re still observing guidelines. Social distancing and social isolating are not the same. Ppl on here conflate them

This was one of the most horrific and traumatic cases I've ever witnessed, especially for Natasha Perie's young children. Today, after five years, she has been named, and the impact on her family laid bare.
