I wonder how this will work out for him

The truest tragedy is that it is costing the state an inordinate amount of money to house him in prison and if he wasn’t so unprofessional in his conduct in the workplace, he could have offered so much good to society

Judge orders arrest of Enoch Burke after he turns up at Wilson’s Hospital School
https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2026/01/16/judge-orders-arrest-of-enoch-burke-after-he-turns-up-at-wilsons-hospital-school/
It does appear that the younger Burkes have no interest in providing any positivity towards society. The parents must be so proud 🙄
I'd change the title to "Enoch is Enoch".
Part of going through the conventional educational system is that we learn how to interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds and navigate through situations that we find challenging. It is all well and grand to learn facts from books. But ultimately we have to be able to live functionally in a society
The prison food must be to his taste. 😀
Those sausages and mash portions are to die for.
And the custard and jelly wow.
You put E-noch in, Judge lets E-noch out,
He goes to Wilsons School and just hangs about,
Gets thrown back in jail for the law he flouts,
And that's what it's all about.
The same could be said of any lawbreaker but I know what you mean.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH do the hokey chokey
Rules bent, another stretch la la la
The older siblings manage to lead quiet lives out of the news so it can't just be the home schooling
Esther & Keren, both involved in education, have kept themselves out of the public eye for the most part. The remaining 8 have all had public outings, some more frequently and more loudly than others. Enoch, Ammi, Simeon and Jemima most notoriously with baby Elijah joining in more recently. Kezia had one foray but didn't appear to have the constitution for it. Josiah and Isaac also wandered into the spotlight at times but now appear content with "supporting" roles, nodding earnestly in various videos, grunting enthusiastically and generally acting as "fanbois" for the parents and siblings.
The fact that a number of them are borderline/utterly unemployable is a remarkable outcome when you consider that all 10 got 500+ points in the LC and all 10 graduated with honours from that university in Galway that changes its name every year, and that they also share a number of masters and Phds between them.
Quite sad in many ways really.
Ammi has kiboshed her career. Ditto Enoch. And Simeon is going to struggle once he has completed his training. Isaac had a big dispute with NUIG about his PhD. Elijah accosting the president will draw huge red-flags to any employer. Jemina is a “journalist” and a quick google search will show that she had a public order quashed. Kezia was embroiled in some legal proceedings against NUIG. Esther is a teacher. There is little information on Josiah, but he appears to be a teacher? Keren Burke appears to be a teacher and the most successful.Given their level of educational attainment, one would have higher expectations for them collectively. Only three appear to be in secure employment. Sure, they have glorious CVs. But sadly, most employers would be reluctant to employ them because they are too unreliable.

high levels in intellectual intelligent but significantly emotionally stunted, tis very sad indeed, significant levels of professional help needed all round there alright
Being good in school is not a guarantee that these people are capable of being productive members of society.
What about 'The Enoch Burke Hokey Pokey' as a thread title?
Problem there is that (despite SIPO and their clear political campaigning) we have no idea who or what is funding Iona.
Iona has a token Prod on the board
Who is of course totally in agreement with the RCC-inspired conservative policy positions of the rest of them
The cost is a sunk cost as the prison place is already there.
The real cost to society is that someone else has been let out to let Burke in.
(skip to 2:30 if the link doesn't do that for you)
Saw a comment from a women about a video on Tik Tok showing Enoch turning up at the school gates - "If Thrush was a person" 😄😄
I agree with a person having the right to protest - but this has gone past that as he is attracting right wing loons and odd balls to outside a school. Not on.
See that head case inside the gate - who on earth is he. In fairness to Burke - I think he is actaully uncomfortable himself with the gang he has formed.
I still think after listing to above - I would rather he have a sit down with a real journalist and let him have his say - but more importantly be challenged about his behavior. We are near that anyway - RTE are there. But instead we have right wing odd balls and X to see above.
Does he not understand the concept of a works tribunal? He doesn't work there.
Apparently some of the kids and parents had trouble getting in.
Yes - not on , but I do fundamentally agree with the right to peaceful protest .
Protest against what though? His case is in the courts.
The judge released him to prepare for a disciplinary hearing case ?
Sorry is that aspect in court or school ?
Either way - I agree with the right to peaceful protest.
Still don't know what he's protesting against.
We'd have ended up in exactly the same place, see:

What's peaceful about roaring at the judges in every court case? What's peaceful about wandering the halls of a school he's been let go from? What's peaceful about bringing this whole show to the gates of the school as often as he has?
He made a mistake crossing the line of gate - but , in fairness it is peaceful at present - it is not violent in any way - Now - I would like to see the same court order applied to the loonies that turned up - say they can not turn up to within 1000 meters of the school.
But - we can't do mental gymnastics either - it currently is a peaceful protest.
