I wonder how this will work out for him

It doesn't matter if it only lasted a day or a week or is ongoing.
What is more curious to me, is how a grown man can spend that much time in prison, where you get to think a lot, and still think this is about transgenders, instead of his behaviour at the dinner.
I could be wrong, but I believe there's more than one entrance.
It doesn't matter if the person is still in the school or not. The student wasn't even in one of Burke classes. The reasons for Burkes suspension and then imprisonment is entirely of his own making.
That is none of our business and irrelevant to Mr. Burke's constant contempt of court.
Wouldn’t a compromise solution for all this have been to refer to the student simply by their legal name. If the student wants to change their name then needs to be by deed poll. It removes all the pronouns from the conversation.
I think the Burke family is like Trump. They crave media attention. They don't mind if it is negative just as long as they are in the headlines.
So the best thing the media could do is to just ignore them and let the school deal with this privately through the courts. There are many more important things nationally and internationally that the media should be spending time on instead.
Enoch Burke wasn't the teacher of the student. He may have had no dealings with him at all. His problem is the concept of the school asking teachers to refer to someone as they or them. Not with the name or the student.
A compromise would be where a court instructs him to stop turning up at the school, and Burke stops turning up.
Given the fact the party causing the impact has no grounds to be on the grounds of the school is pretty relevant to the issue of endangerment. And safeguarding students in normal scenarios would not allow for such a situation and mental health of students is an absolute priority for good reason.
I'd say the original person is irrelevant and it's none of our business.
He could easily have but he didn’t want a compromise he wanted to make noise and be a martyr. He didn’t give a shiny sh1t about the child or their feelings he wants to ram his beliefs down everyone’s throats and claim moral superiority when he is in fact just a waste of life. Sling him back inside and forget about him is my feeling on it.
It should be a crime for a grown adult to be lurking around and inside a school where they have no right to be.
Is he still being paid as a teacher or is his wage on hold?
Especially a religiously zealous one with an obsession about students sexuality given our history in this country.
He has no right to be there on the basis of a court order which he continues to defy and continues to find himself thrown in jail.
But he is not committing any crime in defying the court order and you can't just make one up.
Are you sure about that? Any lawyers in the audience?
If it's not a crime how did the first court order come about?
Criminal Trespass, Public Order, etc.
Unless you are telling me creeping around a school when you have absolute no right to be there does not break any laws in this country?
Try it yourself next week, see how long it takes you before you are walloped off every surface on your way to the Paddy Wagon.
How is that creep still getting paid? This country...
a curiosity maybe - but definitely an irrelevant curiosity
If it's that easy why hasn't he been prosecuted yet?
Its a severe oversight thats its legal for adults to be allowed wander about a school for no reason gawping at minors.
Maybe some like it but vast majority would not want creeps around schools.
Enoch is doing neither of those things, unless you know differently?
Because the DPP refused to. They didn't make public their decision. So you will have to ask them
But you never answered my question, do you think anyone in this state can creep around a school whenever they like without the threat of criminal liability?
So whats your theory? Enoch keeps accidentaly ending up at the school and is simply looking for directions to get away from there?
He was ordered by a judge to stay away from the school. He did not comply. That is a fact.
I was responding to the claim that he was wandering around the school gawping at minors.
please explain..
If memory serves me correctly - Garda vetting for teachers is valid for 3 year cycles. So quite possible that his vetting has lapsed at this stage (or at best has less than 12 months to run).
And you know he isn't?
He has no legitamate reason to be there so something else is attracting to a place full of children.
The dad and other members of the family run a book shop in castlebar.
What is Enoch hoping to achieve by standing at the school gate? He is not getting his job back.
Publicity.
