A Teaching Council inquiry into allegations against Enoch Burke is expected to be postponed following a chaotic courtroom incident. The event involved a 30-minute stand-off between Burke and a judge, resulting in two Burke family members being removed from court.

The Burke family has returned to court, with Mammy Martina insisting that the judge will not prevail, in an ongoing legal dispute.

This time last year, members of the Burke family caused chaos in Washington DC as they tried to highlight the case of sacked anti-transgender teacher Enoch Burke.

The High Court is set to rule next week on whether the mother and a sister of secondary school teacher Enoch Burke should be jailed for contempt of court.
