I wonder how this will work out for him

fair ply to him,he is a brave lad,he will come out on top in the end.
maybe he likes prison food - and wants to get away from him Mum…
Clearly he is not bothered about the trauma this might be causing kids going to the school. Some of time might find it funny, but some would be badly effected by this. Burke is not as passive and caring as people seem to think.
He has drawn spotlight to a loophole in the law. I cannot believe that he has gotten away with the nonsense for so long. Money funding his bad behaviour and essentially publicity stunt could have been used towards SNAs or hot-meals for the children that he professes to care so much about. It is a staggering amount to waste on what was essentially a fringe-issue
And that, I think, was why he was released without his own application. To adduce evidence that he was not genuine in pursuing his appeal and thus to allow the court to make an order bypassing all the other processes - it did not matter hell fore that this might have been apparent (or even obvious) to the court as they could not take notice of it, it was not evidence.
But that’s my point; he would be able to argue that they were prejudiced when in fact he’s the extremist (in behaviour whatever his views).
while it would certainly be entertaining, the problem is that people would then use the footage to vindicate Enoch and to make out that this was all along a question of Enoch’s religious freedom. The spotlight should illuminate Enoch’s unwillingness to engage in a reasonable manner that one would expect from a professional in a position of authority. His beliefs and what led him to behave like this is arbitrary. Today, he rejects the use of the pronouns. Maybe tomorrow he rejects the vegan meals in the canteen. Professionalism is all about dependability and a knowledge on how to appropriately escalate one’s concerns through the chain of command. If we all take a foghorn and start denouncing our personal prejudices, the workplace will descend into chaos
good, old Moleman
I'd be thinking more of the lines of watching Enoch squirm as Panti spent the interview flirting with him.
I think the guy with the megaphone yesterday was actually chanting "flee flee Egg Nog Burke".
There is zero point from putting Enoch on TV for an interview apart from creating a sideshow and giving the family more notoriety.
He’s fundamentally dishonest about why he has been in prison and his statements that his religious beliefs give him immunity for his actions. He’s not going to approach an interview in a reasonable way, and the interviewer ask him questions until he’s blue in the face, Enoch isn’t going to change his mind.
This is the kind of thing that he would love. Because taking the two different sides runs the risk of sowing the seeds of a culture war in the minds of people like Enoch. They would use the viewpoints of Panti to bolster their own views. The best thing that we can do is let this debate die and to not give fuel to the agitators who just want to see society hurled into anarchy
Allegedly EB has supporters out there.
That's it exactly - how could he ever possibly work in Wilson's again? He has disrespected the school, the students, the teachers and the parents.
If he tried to get a job at any other school, there would be a protest by the parents.
What he is doing now is just creepy.
Oh, that would be brilliant.
Just brilliant.
I thought that was the Gerry Hannon/Frank McCourt/Pat Kenny debacle 😂😂😂.
I think that we have already paid 250k of our tax-payer money to his nonsense. I don’t want him to benefit from his poor behaviour. He will spout lies and further antagonise. He is a lost cause. But we should not be seen to encourage this behaviour for other wannabe-Enochs. Do not give him the publicity that he thrives on.
The thing that irks me most is his disingenuous portrayal of the case: this is not about his religious objections. This is about his gross insubordination and professional misconduct. Nobody prevents him from holding his convictions. But if he acts in a manner that disrupts the integrity of the workplace, this is a breach of trust. And his further stunts put petrol on any relations. How could he ever work in Wilson’s again. This is not about the children of Wilson’s. This is all about Enoch’s fallacious belief that he is correct
Back again today

Now his supporters on the other hand. Some of them were more than happy to see the rioting in Dublin.
same here, neither of us are truly qualified to be sure, id imagine, even professionals would struggle with such as consideration, but im still not convinced this situation will lead to such violence, i could be wrong of course, but….
Classic! He certainly did have a point.
I'd agree. well, 99% agree. When there's a certain level of fanaticism there's always a risk that it could turn violent. However there's no indication that any of Burkes ideology is violent and in fact it probably views violence as a bad thing. Still I wouldn't feel qualified to say it's 100% certain.
After yesterday's performance it'll be interesting to see if EB returns to his solo protest at WHS or turn's up with the group he had yesterday, or if he decides to go into hiding to avoid the Gardai again while working on his panel appeal presentation. Yesterday's display indicates he knows he's run out of ground, nowhere to go, turning up on foot at the gate with a mixed group of media people and strange persons. HIS group trespassing on to the school grounds past the gates and surrounding the security man on all sides to give EB a chance to talk at him for his live media presentation then. Peculiar thing is the sudden drop-off of mention of him and his protests in the papers and on the airwaves.
If I had kids in that school or if I was a teacher I would be worried at this point that EB is going to become Irelands first school shooter. I think thats a very real danger at this point. Its not right to have kids and staff have to work with a lunatic turning up every day.
Ray D'Arcy stole a living for decades spewing crap across the airwaves. And on TV too. So have many other presenters, some of them are still at it.
A bit like this?
It alone would be worth it if we get some GOLD like this. Fair play to your man though, he had a point. And I had a shirt like that, same colours and pattern, only nicer still.
Joe Brolly, you have been found guilty of being Joe Brolly. I sentence you to life imprisonment without parole
Nonsense. Nobody, but nobody is entitled to spew their crap across the airwaves
Every day in Ireland there are thousands of teachers forced to follow the religious diktats of their principals despite fundamentally disagreeing with them.
The High Court obviously.
His family got nowhere in the WRC when they tried.
That doesn't make it ok.
Another post says their insurers have paid out for legal costs. They've already had their insurance costs increase massively so they can now expect that to happen again.
