Castlebar native, Enoch Burke has told the High Court today that it was “unlawful” for him to be moved to Castlerea Prison.
The teacher had been detained in Mountjoy Prison since he was found in contempt of court at the start of the year, but was moved to the county Roscommon location on the 1st of March.
Mr Burke is arguing this transfer has “no basis in law” and is in breach of a court order issued on the 19th of January.
The matter has been adjourned to Thursday, when the court will a hear a legal submission from the governor of Mountjoy Prison.
