Orange is the new Burke

But EB does not see outside the gate as the Work Place, I wonder will the security guard be back in place tomorrow?

Maybe not, as they might wait for the employer to report EB to the court first.

Of course there might be a media scrum to control.

It's very clear its a trap and Enoch is dumb enough to walk in to it even after seeing that it is.

This will allow any attempts to claim he can't prepare for the appeal fail.

No sign so far of EB, with a live feed from an RTE reporter, at the school gates.

Wheres the live feed? Looks like a rally stage with the amount of cars parked up from the photo I have seen.

this should be like Italia’90. The whole country should be left off work so we can watch when he turns up.

May be accurate.

Turning up late isn't really covering his claim that he turns up for work.

He also didn't "turn up for work" for a few days when he was on the run, and all the days he stood outside the gate either early on.

Apparently according to Newstalk he's there,but security is keeping him off the grounds.

Has the Judge created a slightly dodgy precedent by letting him out to prepare for his hearing?

EB made the valid point that Mountjoy is full of people waiting on hearings, preparing for them in their cells.

If EB can be released to prepare for a hearing, surely all other inmates are entitled to the same treatment?

Disclaimer; I am not an EB fan.

Reading the reasoning of the judge was to avoid another appeal by doing this so when it came time for the eventual disciplinary board hearing he cant cry that he wasn't let prepare.

Thats why I've said from the start the biggest thing from this should be a reform into how "Home Education" is assessed. Theres no way this situation should have been allowed where 8 kids are indoctrinated into basically a cult that makes them utterly incapable of functioning in society.

Thank christ theres zero chance of another Burke generation.

This situation has been reminding me of the Brad Pitt movie "A River Runs Through It". I saw it about 25 years ago but when Brad Pitt's character is about 6 he doesn't want to eat his lunch. His father who is a deeply religious Presbyterian (some echos here already!) tells him he is not allowed to leave the table until he eats it. Brad just stares at his food, it cuts to him he is still staring at it. Then it cuts to him again and with the lighting we get the impression that it is twilight/late evening in the summer so Brad has been staring at his food for maybe 7 or 8 hours or more.

His father calls the rest of the family back in to the table, they sit down. The father says a quick prayer after meals and then the whole family, including Brad, can leave.

Brad's father eventually backs down. Enoch taking the young child's stubbornness to a previously unimaginable level though. And Judge Cregan doesn't need to, can't, and won't back down.
