Speaking via a video link from Mountjoy Prison Mr Burke said that he was concerned that the action, which he said could prejudice his on-going proceedings against his employer, not be left to ‘drag on’

Arising out of the article he had sought an order under Section 33 of the 2009 Defamation Act, seeking to have the article removed and that it not be republished.

The defamation case, where he has sued parties including Mediahuis Ireland, returned before Ms Justice Eileen Roberts at the High Court on Monday. Once it is formally lodged he said that defendant has eight weeks to lodge their defence to his claim. He said he was concerned by the story, which he said was “made up”, and had been widely circulated and read, and was damaging to his professional reputation as a teacher.

Counsel said that it was not on notice of Mr Burkes application regarding the pleadings in the defamation action.The judge said that if no defence was lodged within eight weeks, then he was perfectly entitled to bring a motion seeking judgment in default of a defence.

He doesn't work there anymore.

Those calling him 'Eunuch' really do fail to appreciate the irony in that. Context is everything.

Has more guts than all the keyboard warriors here put together x 100.

Again if he was Muslim there would be protests if not riots on the Streets of Dublin like the Far Left mobilise when anything happens to Palestinians or when BLM and Antifa exploit “International Human Rights Atrocities” Hypocrites.

When Seán Quinn was found guilty of 'blatant' contempt of court he received a short, definitive period in prison, without purging himself. Not so for Mr Burke.

'...the school he works at.' IT has plumetting standards not just in bias and ethics, it seems.🤣

Sexual schizophrenia. Public exposure, stigmatizing , exhibitionism. Illegal quotes in front of class. Wrong with math, psychology, semantic. CAN YOU CALL PEOPLE, THEeAa,'person'.? ? Anyone confirmed'they'except 40times more coke used in gey clubs,parapsychologist? HTRSXLZM-RL

Lock her up!

What is wrong with this clown, the Judge not interested in his other nonsense, he simply wants Burke to purge his contempt and he'll be home in time for mummy's mince pies, Thoughts & prayers for the prison staff, still stuck with this fool 🙄

A man with morals, a rare thing lately.

Eunuch Burke does not serve time at the pleasure of the state but at his own pleasure. All he has to do is agree to abide by the terms of the injunction - not to access school grounds or abuse staff pending the disciplinary hearing outcome and he can walk out of Mountjoy.

Astrange pops to mind in the sense he is jailed forever trapped

The man simply adores being in jail

Ah jakers, I'd forgotten all about poor aul Eunuch 😁

Purge your contempt

Hahahaha, I'd completely forgotten this Numbnuts

Having this misguided person in prison does Ireland no credit.

Turn the other cheek.

Who cares what he wants.
