I wonder how this will work out for him

be some pints drank to night in the Burke household.
as you well know he was imprisoned because of his appalling conduct, not his beliefs
He was actually in jail for refusing to obey a court order. Whether the court order was to stay away from the school is irrelevant. He refused to obey a lawful order from the court, so he was held in contempt
Those beliefs are he should be able to keep going to his place of work when he was suspended for intimidating a colleague and breaching a students confidence...strange to admire that...
Yes, but it does show that the Court is not out to punish Burke for his beliefs, which is his position, "I'm being punished for my beliefs" and all that crap him and his family have been spewing for a while. Even if he should stay in prison on a point of law and order, it shows that the Court does not want to jail him, and is certainly not out to punish him for his views.
So it puts any further incarceration, which will likely happen when the school resumes after the summer holidays, solely on the shoulders of Enoch Burke and his lack of respect of the law and gives him very little wiggle room for publicity for his (clearly crazy) "cause".
It also means that his disciplinary hearing might actually go ahead, that he could be fired, or not, by the time the school comes back. If he's fired, then it might actually make the Courts job easier as his (likely) trespassing, if past behaviour is to go by, may become a criminal matter, for which a Judge could impose an actual sentence.
"be some pints drank to night in the Burke household."
Holy Water must be a hell of a mixer.
It's clearly done the Burke's fierce harm.
The Burkes don't approve of alcohol.
Thanks for that. I needed a laugh!
The number of Judges in this country who are unfit for the job is quite frightening.
Are the fines still racking up?
What’s the tally now?
27 January 2023 to 28 June 2024 = 518 days @ €700 per day = €362,600.00
+ €15,000 fine for trespass.
+ various awards for legal costs against him.
Maybe if the judge ruled that a gay gets free from hell for everyday of contempt he'd atone pretty quickly
Great post. It's going to look even more ridiculous when he comes and stands outside the school in September.
I bet he pays his unpaid M50 toll fines too
Great.
If he shows up again in September, arrest him on criminal trespass.
Bail him and if he shows up again, arrest him on criminal trespass and revoke his bail.
Rinse and repeat.
About time this criminal behaviour was treated as such and not leaving the school to deal with it.
He's going to miss the willies being put up him in the joy.
Just in time for Pride. He'll be delighted.
I would admire his initial principle & belief too, (but that's not the issue here), and never has been since his totally out of order actions in the school, including when he was suspended yet kept coming back! That's why he is where he is, not because of his very reasonable belief in relation to genesis of his reckless journey.
Burke still has a case ongoing against the school afaik -
Education Minister Norma Foley has said that an appeal against the school board's decision to dismiss Burke remains live. AFTER MORE THAN 280 days in prison, Enoch Burke continues to receive his full salary from Wilson's Hospital School.
What is there to admire exactly about a teacher (although not a teacher of the pupil in question, still an adult in a position of power) undermining / belittling / singling out a vulnerable underage student?
Mod - Cathal Crotty is completely off topic in this thread, leave it out.
The thread is doing that annoying freezing thing again.
I've reported it in case we need a new continuation thread.
Yes, I've referenced this.
Hopefully now the Disciplinary Appeal Panel can now go ahead, and finalise his termination.
Goes to show the absolute hypocrisy between left and right depending on how you view things. On both sides. Stronger sentencing, more lenient sentencing, prejudice/racism or not. Right vs wrong. All seems very subjective depending on on world views. Mad world.
No, that's not what I said, I never said I admired the teacher, as he may have been rubbish for all I know?
Will the idiot go back to the school in September to annoy everyone? 100% he will.
Shure he will never be employed as a teacher again.
If he is true to his word he should go everyday during the holidays and stay at the gates all day.
This is a good move by the court as it shows some empathy for person jailed. It would be unrealistic to keep him there indefinately. This way the school can proceed with the disciplinary process before the new school term and he can be jailed again in September if he doesn’t comply with the court order, whatever public sympathy there is for him now will be further eroded if he turns up at the school when the new term starts having been dismissed.
His mother will make damn sure he returns to the school in September. It's another chance for the publicity she so craves.
I expect he'll continue to turn up, no matter what the outcome of the Disciplinary Appeal Pane hearing - he'll just refuse to accept any responsibility for his actions or abide by the decision of the panel, just as he refuses to abide by High Court orders.
In his delusion, he thinks he has done nothing wrong.
