I've skipped a few pages but has anyone asked where he goes for a pee/poo?
They deliver
Going to the toilet is dirty and sinful. The Burkes want no part of that.
Oh, I know - but if this was a genuine religious-rights infrignement case and there was no trans element - say for example he had to teach evolution and he felt he couldn't - you just know they'd be castigating from the rooftops. And rightfully so, of course, but where's the consistency?!
Transphobia crosses all political and religious boundaries.
It’s listed in the High Court again today so he won’t need to worry about toilet breaks lol it’s like a holiday for him 😂
Sadly true. Much like other types of science deniers like flat earthers or anti-vaxxers.
Didn't realise it was in court today until I saw this tweet
Must have stopped to change his nappy.
After the judge rose from the bench, Mr Burke, his sister Ammi, brother Isaac, mother Martina, and father Sean appeared at the back of the court at around 10.12am.
They spent some time talking to the court registrar before leaving.
Martina Burke said they had a "four hour journey" from Mayo "asking for our rights", as she left court.
I wonder is it a legal right or a religious right to be allowed to be late to your own court hearing?
It's a sin to be late for anything. 🤣
Yep, it looks like they were late!
The case was listed "for mention" before Justice O'Moore in Court 3 at 10:0am.
Thankfully I've never had to go to court, but definitely if I ever had to go to court and knew it was going to be a four hour journey, I'd probably leave the house about 5 hours before the time. If I'm an hour early, grand, grab a coffee and a sandwich while I wait.
It's court. I'd rather be an hour early than a minute late.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the school has put in a portaloo
According to RTE.ie, Justice O'Moore called the case and Enoch wasn't there, so he gave him another five minutes, then went ahead without him.
Justice O'Moore has instructed WHS to prepare an affidavit stating all the times Enoch has breached the injunction, to be supplied to the Court by 5pm tomorrow. Enoch will then have until Friday to respond.
The Burkes arrived at 10:12am. Martina was annoyed the Court didn't wait for them.
Justice O'Moore is not giving them an inch.
Unfortunately I have had the displeasure of being in court many times. Nothing criminal on my part, just a crazy ex 🙄 I’m always at least an hour early before call over. Spend several more hours sitting, waiting to be called while crazy ex scowls at me. If I was travelling from Mayo I’d probably leave the night before 😂
I'm surprised they haven't got the travel time down to a tee.
Though I always found Tuesday the worst day for traffic in Dublin. Especially if it rained.
I bet Justice O'Moore is delighted, he could get on with business without being shouted at.
Not sure that's correct, but one way or the other, it doesn't challenge my point.
They're probably going to claim the traffic jam was deliberatley created by the courts. Where's Moses when you need him most?
I have a feeling the Burkes would be awful drivers. Crawling along the road holding everybody up. A religious figure hanging from the rear mirror and padre pio stickers on the windows.
Lads, lads, the Burkes are evangelical protestants. they're not big on religious imagery and definitely not padre pio stickers.
Class. Padre Pio must have a side hustle as a spirital mechanic because his sticker seems to be the only thing keeping my own car alive, lol.
I'd say many a Mayo man/woman/they/it/thing has had a frustrating journey on the N5 by being behind a Burke on the road.
Judge gave him 100 lines:
"I must not be late for Court"
The sheer arrogance of them.
Complaining that the Judge didn't wait for them because they had a long journey.
Tough - You were told what time the case was to be heard , get there in time.
Like others have said , better to be way too early than to be even a minute late - It's a court appearance , not dinner at you mothers house.
They might not be big into religious imagery but Ma Burke isn't averse to flogging religious books. And of course like most evangelical bible thumpers belive that " Jesus praised the widow who gave her last two coins at the temple ". I tell ya there's con artists and then there's religious con artists who are on a whole new level!
Of course if he had actual legal representation then his representative could have been there and asked the judge nicely to put it back a bit as they were on the way. Then again the judge was probably not very inclined to do the family any favours.
I'm sure he was late to "own the libs"
Surely not? Why would the school be spending to accommodate him?
Stockholm Syndrome.
"I don’t know whether Burke has food with him in his brown leather satchel. Portable toilets were installed in the grounds of the school this week. The school would not comment on their purpose, but it can only be assumed Burke has access to them."
