A High Court judge has sentenced Enoch Burke’s mother and sister to two weeks in jail each after finding them guilty of contempt of court.

Ammi and Martina Burke were not in court when Justice Brian Cregan delivered his judgment on Wednesday and he ordered gardaí to arrest the two women immediately.

The two had been removed from court on February 20th for “shouting and roaring” during a hearing.

Mr Cregan also said the two women and Burke’s brother, Isaac, should be banned from attending future court hearings relating to Enoch Burke in person.

Instead, he instructed they be allowed to attend only remotely.
