Mr Burke remains in Mountjoy, after his most recent refusal to comply with a High Court ruling to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath. The teacher was brought to court on Tuesday, February 27, to have his case reviewed by Mr Justice Mark Sanfey.The court revealed that Mr Burke's salary continues to be paid and he has not paid any of the fines imposed on him by the High Court last year.
In response, the minister said:"In the first instance, just to give context and to say the school is the employer there," Ms Foley said."Indeed the school must make a decision around the payment of the salary and a request around payment of salary to the department. "I must also say that in terms of the school, they have particular obligations also from a legal point of view in terms of the care of an employee."The Minister added:"There was a disciplinary case being taken. It is my understanding that there was an injunction there in relation to that. That had to go through its necessary step
