The High Court has ordered the release of Enoch Burke.
Burke has spent an estimated 700 days in prison since September 2022 for breaching court orders.
The teacher was ordered to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath in 2022.
According to a report by RTE, Mr Justice Brian Cregan said there was a "material change" in circumstances last May as Burke lost his appeal against his dismissal from the school.
The judge confirmed that the Department of Education had stopped paying his salary and his employment was officially at an end.
Judge Cregan said due to this, it was now appropriate to release him from prison and said that he is unlikely to cause disruptions if he shows up at the school as they are on summer holidays.
However, if he does return to the school, Wilson's Hospital School will have to give another application to the court.
As quoted by RTE, the judge said that Burke is entitled to his religious views, however, he is not "entitled to his own truth."
"Every time he says that he is in prison because of his opposition to transgenderism, that is a clear falsehood. The truth is that a court has a duty under the law to set out precisely why Mr Burke is in prison and it has done so in written judgments on each occasion. The truth is that Mr Burke is in prison because he is trespassing on school property," Judge Cregan said.
Judge Cregan said that Burke is entitled to his views on transgenderism as long as he "remains outside the school gates and does not trespass and disrupt the education of the young pupils at the school."
