Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking

Not sure if it is still a thing but there was a special sitting of Meath District Court for the duration of the Slane Concert every year for a long time. Similar to the Letterkenny one, to deal with minor offences before people go back to where they are from.
Jemima was free to contest the charge, have her case heard by a jury but hey-ho, she would have been remanded. Bail may have been refused. They didn’t want the attention that badly!
They must be running low on petrol money at last, they’ve resorted to distributing local proceeding completely unconnected to their crusade for attention.

Mother Burke and one of her sons attended at the 120 anniversary of St Annes cathedral in Belfast on the steps of the cathedral with their camera-person and banner asking the reverends and politicians [Dep 1st minister Pengelly for one] if they knew about Enoch being locked away in the Joy for his religious beliefs. Anne Pengelly told her she didn't and walked on into the cathedral. Ma Burke was really after Bishop Storey there. The cathedral staff and PSNI kept things peaceful. I don't know if this is the first time Ma Burke & Co have travelled north of the border in their religious travails or if they've tested the local judiciary patience yet. We're still in the marching season period there.

all this does is reinforce the belief by some that he was incarcerated for his beliefs, not for being in contempt of court.

Hope he has the sense to stay away from the school

I heard he has premium tickets for Tay Tay.

Just heard Enoch Burke has been released from Mountjoy. Don't have any other info

From RTE news

The judge said that following a review of the situation, and the fact State examinations are now completed and the school is on holidays, he was directing the teachers release.

The court did not require Mr Burke to purge his contempt and agree to comply with the terms of an order made against him last year, the judge said.

In that decision, Mr Justice Alexander Owens granted Wilson's Hospital a permanent injunction restraining Mr Burke from attending at the school.

Now he's out, can they fire him?

Actually, he's in jail because he's refusing to stay away from the school during the normal course of business, which I believe the is what the Court Order was about.

With the exams now finished, it's not a time of year for the normal course of business, so there's no need for him to be in prison.

I find it's actually clever from the Judge.

It quite clearly sets out that his prison time is not about individual beliefs (of course it never was), it's not about on-going discipline matters, it's simply about whether Enoch Burke adheres to a Court Order to keep away from the school while the school is ongoing in it's normal course of business. And if the school is not in session, then there's no need for a Court Order to punish him.

And it shows his incarceration in entirely self-inflicted under a point of law with no real intent of punishment of young Burke, and nothing more.

In simple terms, it says quite Burke's own ignorance alone is the problem.
