• Sean Burke jailed for assaulting garda at Four Courts Assault (assaulting a garda) · Co. Dublin

  On 7 March 2023, Sean Burke, 60, of Cloonsunna, Castlebar, Co Mayo, allegedly grabbed Garda Victoria Fisher and knocked her to the ground in the Court of Appeal at the Four Courts, Dublin, during a hearing in his son Enoch Burke's case. His daughter Ammi Burke, 33, a qualified solicitor, was also charged with obstructing a garda who arrested her brother Simeon Burke, 25, during the same incident. Both were found guilty at Dublin District Court on 9 May 2024, with Sean Burke spared a recorded conviction under the Probation of Offenders Act and Ammi Burke fined €400. On 17 December 2024, Judge Ronan Munro at Cloverhill Court convicted Sean Burke on appeal and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment, which he was ordered to serve after refusing to sign a peace bond, while Ammi Burke's obstruction conviction was overturned.
