I wonder how this will work out for him

There is no evidence whatsoever of a child endangerment issue in this case.
… "a danger to kids" you say. Somebody please explain what the danger is to kids. Obviously it's not good for them to witness the carry-on at the school gates, him being arrested and all that jazz, but a danger to kids 🤔
There needs to be some thought as to whether someone could be found in contempt for being an accessory to another person's contempt.
If someone repeatedly assists another person to break a court order are they themselves in contempt or would it require a second order directing them not to assist the first person?
Wonder will he head back in to prison to collect all the Christmas cards sent to him 🤔
I bet the mammy serves up loads of sprouts.
Yes he is a danger to kids.
Shouting and ranting at the school gate about "transgender ideology" is a danger to any child in the vicinity. Actual physical harm is a possibility too. His father is in prison for assault, his brother was charged for brawling in court, his ma and sister have been know to get into melee's. They are a family of psychotic loons, they shouldn't be let near any child.
Is this loser still getting paid by the state for being a crap teacher?
Afraid so.
Amazing how the other half live. If I was suspended from work for gross misconduct, I'd get a P45, I'd not continue to get paid for a year and a half,.
The €193,000 figure was stated by Justice Nolan in court today - so it would appear that the State is indeed only calculating it based on school days
What's the hold up with firing this nut job?
But he also mentioned the cost of incarcerating Burke for so long and said a representative from the Department of Finance should be at the next hearing so they can discuss ways to re-coup the costs.
Could they not send him to teach in a school on Inis Mean or somewhere? Pretty difficult to keep showing up at Wilsons Schhol every day then.
Sprouts would be too "commercial" for a Christmas in the Burke house.
It would be a lot more like a cold thin gruel at the dinner table.
Aptly there is a boarding school on Inishmaan. But its multidenominational which I imagine means he wouldn't touch it.
Very few people would believe that his views would have been listened to . And is there not a counter argument that the school could also have ignored the issue .
absolutely great news,sense seen at last. this guy is an inspiration
Inspiration to who?
Agreed.
Did his father physically hit a guard or was it a case of him being convicted of an assault technically, technically you can be convicted of assault for yelling at someone
It's outlined in this link.
There was physical contact.

They were shown leaving the court on RTE News, judging by her smug face mammy was delighted to be back in the spotlight.
Has he done any shouting and ranting at the school though? not AFAIK.
They do it in and outside the courts, there's always journalists outside there. They've done it a lot in the past outside the Dail, ditto.
2/10. Poor.
What have the people of Inis Meáin done to deserve him?
He's not allowed teach anywhere and shouldn't be. He dragged a vulnerable pupil into his family's nutbar behaviour, which would be a disgrace for anyone but doubly so for a teacher. The Teaching Council will no doubt eventually get around to striking him off.
The Aran Islands aren't a prison, WHS are still paying him, so there's nothing (apart from the court order, which he shows no regard to) stopping him from going to WHS again.
An inspiration to nut jobs everywhere
Yes it's becoming more and more apparent that she is quite happy to sacrifice her children's professional futures to keep herself in the limelight. Shocking narcissistic behaviour from a parent.
Ignored a teacher confronting the principal at an event?
No, no, there's no counter argument there. Go and try confront your boss like that and see how long you keep your job.
You said . "He dragged a vulnerable pupil into his family's nutbar behaviour, which would be a disgrace for anyone but doubly so for a teacher."
But as far as I can see the school entertained the pupils illusion by falling for the lie that the pupil was born in the wrong body (as per gender ideology), the school then affirmed the new "gender identity" as the pupil wished to become (they/them), but Burke said no, I'm not buying into the lie ….
Good man Burke 👍
While I fully support him on this stance against the ideology, it's what he then embarked on (standing at the gates etc) that lost him my support, as he fell foul of the law.
Mod: Warned for ignoring moderator instruction
Looks like days in jail don't count.
The big question now is are the courts going to follow through on a proper financial sanction in January or is it another another empty threat that he will happily ignore.
how did they all get there and get home tho??
