He served two terms in Portlaoise Prison on IRA membership charges in the 1970s.[2] In the early 1980s he became involved in local politics. He was involved in anti-illegal drug trade activism in Dublin, particularly with Concerned Parents Against Drugs, and criticised the Garda Síochána for their treatment of his fellow activists.[3][4] He was first elected to Dublin City Council in 1985.[5] In 1986, he and Tony Gregory were jailed for fourteen days for campaigning on behalf of Moore Street traders.[6] In 1996, he was awarded £7,500 for distress caused by false statements after a member of the Garda Special Branch had told Burke he was in danger of being assassinated.[7] He was involved in negotiations during the Northern Ireland peace process in the 1990s and supported the IRA ceasefires.[6] After winning a seat for Sinn Féin in the 2009 Irish local elections, he left the party three days later, leading to criticism from Aengus Ó Snodaigh[1] that Sinn Féin had promoted him in the campaign as its longest-serving councillor.[6] In 2010, the Sunday World newspaper was forced by the High Court to apologise to Burke for a May 2007 article by crime reporter Paul Williams, published during the campaigning period for that year's general election, that falsely accused him of involvement with the IRA.[8] He ran for the Dáil seven times in Dublin Central but was not elected. In June 2014 he was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin for a year.
