Orange is the new Burke

releasing him is like trusting DJ Carey to manage finances responsibly...utterly daft.

The amount of people looking at this as a victory for Burke is astounding. The judge is obviously doing this so he can turn around and say

“ look I gave him the chance “ he is just giving him more rope to hang himself with. By the sounds of the exchange it sounded like he didn’t want to be released and said he could prepare for his appeal just as easily from his cell .

If he had even slightest bit of cop on he now would stay away from the school and get working on the paperwork for the appeal process. If he appears at the school tomorrow he is shooting himself in the foot as the judge said he would.. It will be used against him in the appeals process.

He was in the same wing as the pedos apparently.

Agree totally what your saying the Judge has give him a public view chance to go and get legal help etc for the appeal and if he returns to the school tomorrow Burke is showing that he won’t except a of fair play from the courts.

oh hes heading back to school alright, so this will drag on for years, with him in and out of prison throughout

The judge said he was directing that Mr Burke be released from prison for "one reason and one reason only, interest in the administration of justice" and so that he has time to prepare for his case against the DAP.

Interesting use of words by the judge, if EB doesn't use his release to prepare for the case and instead shows up at the school it could be interpreted as him not being interested in the administration of justice and grounds for dismissing his legal challenge.

Looks like Enoch is being beguiled here and no doubt will take the bait tomorrow.

It would tend to show that EB was not interested [genuinely or other] in getting a proper hearing from any 3-person appeals panel and solely interested in holding public protests at the school regardless of the existing High Court order not to trespass at WHS.

I would not be at all surprised if WHS has one of its legal rep's at the school tomorrow waiting to see if EB sets himself at the gates again, with a contact at the court ready to inform the High Court EB is back at WHS breaking the court order again. This would cut the school admin from having to contact the courts again.

I wouldn't be surprised that the local Gardai will have gotten instructions form the local Superintendent to be ready to arrest EB if he commits contempt of court again and convey him to the Joy on word of the High Court ordering his immediate detention and imprisonment.

One of my neighbours is a school principal and he said to me months ago that there was a chance that Burke could win his appeal. Don't know how much things have changed since he said this to me.

What happens then?

Is he paid off and that's the end of it? Surely the school cannot be made play all nice with him and greet him back with open arms? Do they snow him under with work? Or set up his timetable that no students actually attend any of his classes?

I have to say I love Enoch rocking the runnners. Bet he asked the mother to bring him in a pair of Airmax/TN's like the other lads and Mother Burke landed back with these.

There's no chance of his being reinstated even if he wins so it's all a bit pointless. Any money he's awarded will be taken off him to pay his fines. There's already no reason why he couldn't take up another job if someone would hire him.

It's an awful waste of time for everyone involved. You'd think at this stage the Burkes would get the message. Their reputation as a family is ruined(not that it was great before this escapade).

I suppose there are people out there who don't know the full story or chose not to acknowledge it who support them but even at that is all of this ultimately worth it for the Burkes?

He does look well disgruntled to be let out.

Very strange character.

Its utterly stupid letting him back out. He will be back in there in no time at all.
