Orange is the new Burke

It does indeed.

Irish Times:

Mr Burke’s audio was then muted by order of the judge. When unmuted after the judgment was read, he continued to protest that he was in prison over his transgenderism views.

He certainly is. Delighted the salary is being used to pay damages. The Burke family are pests and finally the state is showing it's teeth.

But not respecting anything (other than what his mammy tells him) is just how he rolls

Two words, "wide stance"

Judgment (No. 2) of Mr. Justice Cregan delivered on the 28th day of November, 2025 in the High Court in the case of The Board of Management of Wilson’s Hospital School (Plaintiff) and Enoch Burke (Defendant)

Three pages and a truly delightful read. Whereas High Court judgements are often lengthy, dense and turgid reads, this is a model of clarity. Cregan J deals with (1) the garnishee application (Wilson's Hospital School seeking to have Burke’s salary paid directly to them in settlement of the €15k awarded for trespass), (2) The sequestration of motor vehicles and (3) Mr. Burke’s purging of his contempt.

I strongly recommend that all of those interested in this case read the above. I particularly recommend the third section, in which Cregan J. takes a wrecking ball to Burke’s nonsense transgender arguments. It is written beautifully and brilliantly and sets out both what Burke (1) has to do to purge his contempt and (2) very cleverly in terms of what he doesn't need to do takes the opportunity to demolish his arguments and pretensions and rubbish his ”nonsense” in brutal and viscerally clear language. This is the third section in full:

Mr. Burke’s purging of his contempt.

10. I would like to make it crystal clear to Mr. Burke what he must do to purge his contempt and to be released from prison.

11. He must give an undertaking to the court that he will not enter on, or trespass on, the school’s property again without the school’s consent. That is all. (The issue of outstanding fines will however remain.)

12. He does not have to give any undertaking that he will follow the school principal’s direction to call a child “they” or “them”. He does not have to accept transgenderism. He does not have to stop protesting against transgenderism. He does not have to change his religious beliefs one iota.

13. The idea that Mr. Burke is being imprisoned because of his religious beliefs is nonsense. This court does not imprison people for their religious beliefs. Mr. Burke is being imprisoned because he is trespassing on other people’s property. No more. No less.

14. Any statements by Mr. Burke, or other members of his family, that he is being imprisoned because of his opposition to transgenderism are demonstrably false.

15. As I said in my first judgment, Mr. Burke has the keys to his own prison. He only has to give an undertaking that he will obey court orders – like every other citizen in the country.

Paragraphs 12, 13, 14 and 15 are pure true 24ct gold. Cregan J is in steamroller mode here. If anybody here ever needs to rubbish some X bot post about poor martyr Enoch, they need to go no further than this.

There is one O/S matter, the possible case of criminal contempt by four other named members of the Burke family. This was referred by Justice Cregan to the DPP last week and wasn’t mentioned in today’s judgement. Hopefully the DPP won’t spend too long deliberating over this and will hand it back to the court with instructions to prosecute soonest. And ideally back into the lap of Justice Cregan. We could make a decent dent in the national debt if we sold ringside tickets for the bout between Cregan J and Burke M(artina). I’m licking my lips at the prospect of him filleting that vile harridan………..

Judge Cregan is setting out a road map which could possibly lead to a conclusion of this worrying case.

He is pointing out in simple terms an alternative course for EB.

The next step is to conclude the appeal and that together with the repayment of the outstanding trespass debt. will break the link with the school.

Then EB is facing a crossroads.

He can purge his contempt and pursue his campaign against transgenderism to his hearts content as long as he stays within the law.

Or he can continue on the path which has ruined him.

I really hope he is supported in making the right decision.
