Enoch Burke has called the process to appeal against his dismissal from a Co Westmeath school a “shambles” after two members of the panel resigned this week. Mr Burke had sought a temporary injunction against an appeals body that was reviewing the decision to dismiss him from Wilson’s Hospital School. Mr Burke, who won a case last year where he objected to the make-up of the appeals panel, said on Wednesday that the resignations were “astounding”. The High Court was told on Wednesday that two members of the disciplinary appeals panel (DAP) had resigned. Mr Lyons said that the resignations “secures the ultimate outcome which he (Mr Burke) sought to achieve, which is that panel would no longer sit” in its former guise.
