Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

He'll be inside the school by the 7th and back in the Joy by the 10th.

Possibly some more of the clown car will be arrested by then or at the court hearing too.

Fines might possibly start being collected as garnishments, going on the last paragraph there.

With the father inside, who's going to be on driving duties up to the school and back?

Doubtful, but then again, I didn't think they'd release Enoch, either.

The difference though, is Daddy is actually under a sentence, only imposed a few days ago, and he has refused to be bound to the peace.

(Could being complicit in Enoch breaking a court order by driving him to the school come under this?)

If nothing else, the Burkes continue to entertain!

I dont think anyone sees anything else happen bar him standing outside the school come the 6th Jan

You have to wonder how or if he will pay monies outstanding to the state. Up to 193k according to RTE today. While I'm sure he is sincere in his beliefs/principles we all live in a society governed by rules and regulations to ensure civil order.

I think the Judge must be thinking with Enoch Burkes Father now in Prison and the school closed for Christmas that he will have no way of turning up at the school now unless he walks and it would be pointless if he did.

Can't say I agree with freeing him.

I suppose we will see if it works or nit over the next few weeks if Enoch changes his mind ir not but I doubt it. I see him ending up back in prison.

Also it's a disgrace that he still gets paid and that he has never paid a cent of the €196,000 that he owes to the state.

RTE is way off in their estimate.

Its 27/01/2023 to 20/12/2024 = 694 days @ €700 per day = €485,800.00.

That doesn't include the €15k he was fined for trespass, or any of the legal costs that were awarded against him.

Increasing the daily fine is an empty threat. It hasn't proved to discourage Enoch yet.

Id say the Christmas Dinner in casa Burke would be great fun.

The judge is looking for a way to use the full pay the Ee is getting to offset some of the fine total..

Thats what's needed

Releasing him during school holidays is a clever move by the court/prison system. He can't disrupt the school or classes and each time it gives him the opportunity to stay away. Also gives him time to be with his family at xmas. By not staying away when schools returns he more or less volunteers to return to prison and no one can say he is being left to rot in a cell.

Don't agree. The man is an attention whore. By releasing him all the time we're giving him what he wants, the oxygen of publicity. It's far better to remove his platform and let him rot in jail.

It's not cheap but at least he's no danger to kids while locked up.

I'd imagine it's just as miserable as every other day in that house

Absolutely f*cking stupid decision. He has shown several times he will go back to the school. He has shown several times he will drag it all back to the courts again and waste more of the courts time. He has shown several times he has no intention of ever paying any fine imposed.

nice touch from the judge to quote a parable from the Bible
