Enoch Burke 'flat out refused' to disclose information about his assets and income to the High Court, judge says

Enoch Burke, a schoolteacher embroiled in a transgender-related dispute, has defied court orders by refusing to disclose his financial details. The Attorney General is pursuing a receiver's appointment to facilitate the deduction of fines, which a judge has now increased from €700 to €1,400 a day. This response comes after Burke's continuous presence on school grounds, defying court prohibitions. His mother and brother faced ejection from the court for disruptive behavior during the proceedings, reflecting the ongoing tensions surrounding Burke's case.

'The court has been left with no option but to reconsider the daily fines imposed on Mr. Burke, especially given the ongoing violations of court orders. His disregard for the court's authority necessitates a firmer response, hence the increase from €700 to €1,400-a-day.'

'Despite multiple opportunities to comply, Mr. Burke has chosen to ignore the court’s directives, leading to this escalation in fines and the potential appointment of a receiver to manage the deductions from his salary.'
