Enoch Burke back to school
Sacked teacher Enoch Burke stood outside on the grounds of Wilson’s Hospital School for several hours on Wednesday, a day after he was arrested by gardaí under public order legislation.
Mr Burke walked to an entrance of the school building, but was denied access. He then remained outside the building for several hours, until the school day ended, after 1.15pm.
Mr Burke, who was previously jailed after failing to observe a court injunction banning him from attending the school while he was suspended from work, was informed last Friday of his dismissal from his position as teacher.
Despite his dismissal, he has turned up to the school for two successive days, and staff have refused him entry on both days.
Rent credits
The Taoiseach said the rent credit announced in the Budget last year is a permanent measure.
In October, it was announced renters can claim a €500 credit for the years 2022 to 2025, but it appears that is being extended.
About 400,000 people are eligible for the relief, which was introduced to help ease the pressure of record-high household costs.
