Enoch Burke was found in contempt by a High Court judge on Monday for violating a court injunction barring him from Wilson’s Hospital School in Mullingar , about 50 miles ( 80 kilometers ) west of Dublin .

He was suspended by the school in 2022 after publicly objecting to what he called “transgender ideology” and refusing to address a trans student by their preferred name and pronoun.

He has continued to show up at the school, and has spent more than 400 days in prison.
