The Garda ombudsman has been granted access to audio recordings of a court "melee" that broke out during a hearing related to Enoch Burke's dispute with Wilson's Hospital School.

Delivering the judgement of the three-judge Court of Appeal today, Mr Justice John Edwards said that "disruptive and disrespectful conduct by some persons attending court" on March 7, 2023 had caused the court to rise and abandon delivery of its judgment. He said that conduct continued after the court had risen and "represented an uninterrupted continuum of unacceptable behaviour".
