The father of jailed teacher Enoch Burke has been found guilty of assault after a trial heard he grabbed and "flung" a female garda to the ground "like a red rag to a bull" after his wife was escorted out of the Court of Appeal (CoA).

Sean Burke denied assaulting Bridewell Garda Victoria Fisher on March 7, 2023, at the CoA in the Four Courts while his daughter Ammi Burke, 33, a qualified solicitor, pleaded not guilty to obstructing a garda who arrested her brother Simeon on the same date just outside the building.
