No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

I've stated in my post that the state/school doesn't seem to recognise his religious grievance while being employed and paid as a teacher.,.

Except that's incorrect. The principal had offered to discuss a resolution with him i.e. make special arrangements that could be agreeable to both parties. Burke saw fit to throw a tantrum and had to be stopped by, now former, colleagues.

He lost his job because of how he acted, not because of his religious beliefs.

100% 😅.

The world is nuts but so are the burkes 😂😂

All hse refunds are paid with a danske cheque. Used to be Ulster Bank previously.

Seems apt

The lefties are the worst racists, they hate anything to do with irish culture and tradition. They try and paint us as old fashioned and backwards.

Ah now your easily offended if you take that as a snide response.

I never said I was offended by it.

He's a leftie, they are easily offended.

It's a silly thing to make assumptions when you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

You don't know a thing about me; you simple landed on the "leftie" label because I won't swallow your nonsensical lines that all our problems are down to immigrants. Like you (even though you don't realise) I can be hard right / left on some issues but similar to most of the electorate here, I'd be centre right traditional leaning. The whole "leftie" jibes are simply easy to trot out when you're looking for an outlet. It's a simplistic American jingo people use to blame others for their situations.

Even in relation to the question of immigration ( and the following 'sure the lefties are racist' tripe) here's a few actual posts I wrote in other threads specifically in relation to immigration & Ipas Centres :

So no; you're completely and utterly wrong on the whole "lefties and open borders" sh1te but sure you saw the opportunity for a rant and couldn't resist could you.

Sher they are bringing in hate speech laws so they can report people that don't agree with themselves.

Except they aren't "bringing in hate speech laws"; we've had them since 1989. A whole 36 years.

What, I think, you are referring to is the updates to the Prohibition to Inciting Hatred Act of 1989. Also they aren't "bringing in" the changes; they were affected on the 31st of Dec 2024. We were actually one of the last EU countries to update them- Statutory Acts get updated quite a lot) but we had to update them to reflect the societal changes, the online life we now lead in particular, not being relevant in 1989. They have been there for years and updated recently yet somehow it's "now" an issue….

How exactly does it affect you, in relation to public intention/likelihood of being threatening or abusive and likely to stir up hatred against people because of their - race, color, nationality, religion, national or ethnic origin, descent, disability, gender, sex characteristics, and sexual orientation…..If it hasn't between 1989 and 30th Dec 2024; then Im guessing it doesn't change your life one single bit.

And, a boy wearing a dress is still a boy

To you, yes. To your neighbour maybe no. But that's not really affecting you, me or 99.99% of others. Let them off.

The issue with aul Enoch is not that a boy is choosing to wear a dress; it's the fact that this person is offending his made up sky fairy that judges us all. (None of the other gods get a mention just his chosen one)

If religious people want to justify their choices due to belief in imaginary beings, like the boy in a dress, let them off. Just don't expect me to play along. This is typical of, so called, Christians; little of their lives reflect any Christian spirit; it's simply a tactic for judgement and bullying of others to their fairy stories.

And a girl who thinks she's a cat, is just fuucked up in the head

You do realise this was a simple lie that did the rounds and was easily lapped up by those who wanted to justify some misguided rants….

And open borders in ireland is the death nail of irish culture and society. Just look at the city's in England.

Back to this again. Tell you what; if you don't like it, you need to tell your children/family/friends etc. to stop trying to better themselves through education/work and simply settle for more of the low pay/low skill jobs that foreign workers are having to fill. I travelled through Dublin airport again today; have done nearly every 4-10 weeks for a few years; the decline in ethnic Irish workers throughout the airport is noticeable; we simply see these jobs as beneath 'us' and push generation after generation to higher education/more lucrative white collar roles. This was the same in England, yet you don't want to actually deal with the reason just point fingers at, supposed, "lefties".

Its a question of follow the money with IPAS centres and the politically well connected operators of same - some interesting stuff in the Phoenix recently on this very matter.
