I wonder how this will work out for him

And iirc, EB already had some of WHS costs awarded against him, for the injunction.
(sorry its The Mirror).
Why would they need psychiatric evaluation though?
And then there was the Ammi court case too.
The WRC person who described them as a travelling circus wasn't wrong at all.
Only right costs awarded against him after the show he has been making.
Justice Owens has commented, more than once, that "he is the author of his own misfortune".
Like many, I wondered why Justice Owens was taking so long to deliver his ruling.
Now I think it was because he was waiting for the outcome of the DPP's decision whether to prosecute EB for trespass at WHS or not.
I'm guessing, if the DPP had proceeded with a charge for trespass, Justice Owens would have left it to take its course.
But as they decided not to proceed, he imposed a €15k fine for trespass.
Justice Owens also said the school was now entitled to a permanent injunction prohibiting EB from turning up at the school.
I guess that puts another nail in the coffin of EB trying to get his job back! ⚰️
I don't have an ounce of sympathy for these people. Saying they are "mentally ill" or anything along those lines is an easy out for them. They've made a holy show of themselves and Enoch is certainly completely unemployable in this country now.
What do you want - a warning point for every day?
😀
I'll get Masandeman and sandamieeman after you.
They are very much a cult. I thought that Enoch’s stay in Mountjoy was his first time away from home for an extended period but he and some of the others have done degrees abroad.
It just shows how strong the indoctrination is that after spending a few months in London not one of them stopped sipping the ‘kool-aid’.
Not recognising any authority but their God and refusing point blank to talk to outsiders is all part of cult behaviour.
So what’s the story, is he still turning up daily at the school?
Yes. Is there any reason why you think he wouldn't? Although the Burkes love the publicity, that's not why he's continuing to turn up.
Apparently yes. But he brings books to read now.
According to that week old article his fines are for "daily arrivals at the school" and then goes on to say there's no prosecution for trespass.!!!
I think we can all agree the quality and accuracy of the reporting on this case has left a lot to be desired. Particularly around the reason for the daily fines.
As I understand it, the DPP decided they would not proceed with a criminal prosecution for trespass.
But I believe Justice Owens could still impose a fine for damages for trespass, as part of the civil case which is what he did.
Probably written by an AI bot then.
I thought the fines were for his contempt of court? Seeing that he was fined for weekend days and days the school was on holiday.
Who’s the Patron saint of eye sight?
You're probably right about the AI bot.
And you are right about the fines being for contempt of court, not "turning up at the school".
Given Justice Owens has now made his ruling, I don't know where he can go from here. The Court of Appeal didn't go too well for him last time!
I find this solicitor on youtube, Terry Gorry, gives nice, succinct summaries of the rulings.

Wouldn’t they be the saint of corrective lenses and hearing aids?
😂
Santa Lucia or St Lucy. Though St Jude would probably be more appropriate for the family
The only other country in the world named after a woman. Perhaps we could send them there ?
Someone they didn't pray to hard enough.
Not a chance 😂 It would cost more than that for one day in the High Court. He’s looking at hundreds of thousands at this stage.
Absolutely - I'd say when you add everything up across all of the cases he's looking at a figure rapidly approaching €500k if not already beyond that.
You’re not wrong! I’ve lost count of the amount of days over all the cases but maybe Loueze could start a new running total? 😂
The daily contempt charges are up at around 80k now so with the 15k trespass charge he'll break 100k in fines later this week.
If as expected he's on the hook for everyones costs he's look at another 350/400k in legal fees as well.
Does anyone know if he turned up at the school today?
As far as I know, he had until the end of April to appeal his sacking with the board of governors but unsure if he did.
I know he can appeal all these cases again up to the supreme court but does he expect to sit outside the school until then?
And it’s not over yet ….. 😂
And rightly so he should pay for making a joke of the court system and his stupid carry on, a grown man acting like a spoilt child and messing around a school. One day when it’s too late the family will wake up to mad mammy.
He's been there every day so today won't be any different most likely.
This week or next week will be the end of term anyway but the daily fines will still keep going all through the summer until he stands in front of a Judge and purges his contempt.
As they were described in an article in the Examiner a good while back they are "a family incapable of getting out of their own way"
Each and every time any of them have gone to court they have been unable to just allow the courts to move along with their business and every single case has collapsed because they couldn't behave like adults and couldn't stop shouting nonsense at the Judges and other Court officers.
