Enoch Burke was arrested yesterday morning for breaching a court order The order barred him from teaching or being present at his Westmeath school

The headline is somewhat misleading. (Daily Mail - shocker!)

TBH if he obeyed the court order and then sued there is a good chance he might win.

Apparently the school can't simply fire this male teacher, or lock him out. The court ordered him not to go to the school, where he sits in an empty classroom. He refused to obey. His crime? He's not going to call a boy a girl. So now the judge is locking him up? How fucked up is this on the part of both the courts and the schools? It's absurd.

He's not going to call a boy a girl.

Worse, he's refusing to call a "he" the plural pronoun of "they." The school is literally trying to force him to use pronouns in a manner inconsistent with the English language. In a school system where they used to jail teachers for teaching in Celtic instead of English, because England is and has always been a dick of a country.
