I wonder how this will work out for him

The legal costs must be eye-watering at this stage. I couldn't even hazard a guess. 💰️ 💰️ 💰️
I wonder if WHS have cut him off the payroll yet? Maybe tomorrow. (1 year since suspension).
Pedantic I know - but are the fines only for the days that he shows up at the school?
If he hasn't been showing up since end of term in June, then the daily fines are static until terms restarts and the bould Enoch makes his reappearance.
Likewise - he won't have been accruing any daily fines on weekends (unless he was showing up on Saturday and Sundays - and I definitely don't imagine him showing up to "work" on the sabbath 😁)
No, the daily fines are not for each day he turns up at WHS, they are for each day he remains in contempt of the High Court injunction ordering him to stay away from WHS.
The fines began to be applied on 27 January and apply for every day since (including school closures, weekends, bank holidays etc) and will continue to accrue until he goes before the Court and purges his contempt.
I’ve completely lost track 😂 Too many hearings but it would be approximately 20k per day in the high court depending on how many barristers so a lot of money! I think they are still paying him pending the outcome of something? They are not obliged to though. Bet he’s polishing up his satchel for school next week 😂😂😂
Once the money gets to a level where he has no possibility of paying it, he might as well carry on.
They deserve each other
He's apparently back at the school today!!!
Shure what else would he be doing
If he is, I doubt anyone will be surprised.
The High Court need to get their finger out, and issue the judgement on the injunction over the Disciplinary Appeal Panel, so it can either proceed with the current members, or alternative members appointed.
Its ridiculous that this has been allowed to drag on over the summer, and into a new school year.
confirmed
Some interesting bits in the article
The independent article stated he has set himself up in a “corridor” ?
Shirley this is looking for a showdown of sorts? I didn’t think he was permitted to be on the school grounds, only outside.
Former teacher Enoch Burke has returned to the school that sacked him in what is seen as a pledge to continue his protest at his dismissal.
As the new term began today, Mr Burke arrived and took up position in a corridor in the school.
He can hardly stay in the corridor?! Surely he'll be removed for trespassing.
As far as I can remember, he is not allowed anywhere past the gate, though I'd need to go back and check.
If he is in a corridor, he is provoking a showdown. Twat.
If he is physically in the building, on a corridor, he is in breach of the court order. Surely he is a trespasser, and can be removed by Gardai. I suspect he's trying to be put back in prison. In saying that, he's just making a plonker of himself at this stage (as if he wasn't already).
Also wrong in the Indo;
“prompting the High Court to issue him with a daily €700 fine for every day he remained in contempt of court by turning up at Wilson’s Hospital.”
He is fined 700 euro every day for contempt of court whether he turns up at the school or not.
Is Daddy still driving him to school?
I assume he'll never pay the fines and will prefer to return to prison. But are the authorities actually ever going to look for these fines to be settled? Or have they already done so? Or does it have something to do with whatever appeal he has pending?
If he is inside, he’s probably looking for a confrontation to get some articles going and social media outrage.
Wilson’s will be smart enough not to fall for that, leave him there until 4 o’clock and just make sure he doesn’t interact with the students.
They’ll have a bouncer on the door tomorrow so he can’t repeat it.
Id say he's just delighted to get out of that house.
I imagine he wants away from the mother and his dad is sick of driving him and they’ve concocted a plan that suits them both.
Must be very disruptive to the students his presence in the corridor
Hopefully he's beside the unisex toilets.
Back in my day we’d probably have pea shooting competitions (wet paper and empty bic biro ) to see who could hit him without getting caught 😛
It was Justice Owens who, when he ruled that WHS suspension of EB was lawful, who also ruled that EB had no right to enter the school once he had been suspended and that his attendance afterwards amounted to trespass.. He said that WHS was entitled to a permanent injunction barring Enoch from the premises.
I guess that means WHS were hoping to avoid that - that the DAP would have taken place before the new school year, and some resolution would have been reached by now
I guess they will now have to formally apply to the High Court to have the temporary injunction made permanent.
It seems bizarre that anyone can just walk into a school and stay there until a court order is obtained.
Doesn't seem compatible with child protection.
Fair play to him, he's not a quitter anyway.
How many days are in the school calendar year? Are the media going to report on him being there for every single one of them? Or will they eventually stop covering the story?
The legal system needs to toughen up on this guy and his carry on. Don't care what the legal language is or what code or law he is presumed to be breaking, but if a grown man, who was not welcome in a school, was hanging around the school corridor where my kids were at school, I'd be expecting the justice system to step in and protect my kids. In fact, I'd be furious he is allowed anywhere near the building perimeter.
The high court has already ruled. Case closed. Get off school.property, dont come back, dont disrupt the school.staff & pupils, and patents.
If the justice system doesnt step in to protect the kids & teachers, and resolve this issue, people will start to take justice into their own hands. Its not right that people go down this route, but unfortunatly it will happen.
Or will they eventually stop covering the story?
They did stop covering it for a long time, but the guy rocking up for the first day of term is news.
The media are not the issue here, and if anyone thinks Enoch will just lose interest if he's not appearing in the news, they have not been paying attention.
How much does he owe in fines now?
Seems Enoch was prophetic. New sphe curriculum to be taught to this year's 1st yrs.

TLDR, teachers must use preferred pronouns and avoid gendered language like "boys, girls, lads, ladies, guys, mum,dad etc"
My god seriously would you be a teacher these days having to deal with all of that- I’d be petrified I’d make some innocent mistake that would see me hauled over the coals
