Irish schoolteacher Enoch Burke has been ordered to pay costs to Wilson’s Hospital Secondary School after the High Court determined that the school was within its rights to put him on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a disciplinary process against him.
Burke was famously suspended from his post by his employer for disruptive behaviour following an instruction from the Principal of the school to address a pupil by the pronouns “them/they”. Burke objected to this instruction on the grounds of religious freedom.
