    The twisted replies to selective cut and pastes from my post shall deflect and fool a few people, is a bit of a pain but are simply incorrect. Why do you do this?

    "Early in the proceedings, Mr Justice Cregan observed that Mr Burke had raised “substantive” and “credible” issues in his court filings.

    But on Friday the case was struck out when the judge said Mr Burke had got the main reliefs he was looking by for virtue of the resignations and the fact an entirely new DAP would have to be constituted."

    So yes it was struck out because Burke got most of what he was looking for. In other words he won this part.

    It also shows that the delays on this part up to this are on the School/Dept - waiting for this new DAP panel and not on him. BTW, the panel resigned on “legal advice”, again not Burkes fault.

    Have you some skin in the game? Why do you wish to twist these things?

    Nobody’s asking you to support Burke, but it is futile and destroying your credibility not to accept simple facts and that he has won some legal battles within the overall War.

    I’ll post separate on the perjury part.

    "Today, before the contempt hearing, Mr Justice Cregan agreed to hear Mr Burke’s application for the referral of Mr Ó Longáin’s affidavit to the DPP.

    Mr Burke alleged Mr Ó Longáin, a barrister, perjured himself in the affidavit in which he said the panel had always intended to reconvene in January rather than issue its recommendation.

    “I am appalled at these averments. They are demonstrably false and Mr Ó Longáin knows them to be false,” said Mr Burke.

    The teacher cited correspondence from the DAP which he claimed contradicted Mr Ó Longáin’s sworn statement.

    The application was opposed by barrister Hugh McDowell, for the DAP.

    Mr McDowell said Mr Ó Longáin had, in a further affidavit, denied perjuring himself and was acutely aware of his obligations to the court.

    Mr Justice Cregan also reserved judgment on this application."

    So there is enough there on the perjury that the Judge did not dismiss it, and shall give a written judgement on this at a later date.

    How exactly did the school try it?

    Given your clear bias towards Burke and their nonsensical disrespect to the court, I'd be surprised if you weren't one of them!

    Incredible zeal that they are correct and zero tolerance for anybody’s else’s opinion without much concern for actual facts as reported by the media., and a lot of twisting.

    Strangely the Burkes may not be classed as a cult as they are a family unless they can expand with some new members.

    But there is a boards cult on this who don't tolerate any discent.

    I don't understand how you can't accept that Burke has won a few battles - It's doesn't mean you support him or shall become homophobic/biblical etc…..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭gk5000


    Jeez, read two posts up from yours. Or someone else please explain this.

    Please read the published accounts in any of the main papers, and you will discover that the School/Dept have convened two panels at this stage, both of which collapsed, the last one of their one legal advice.

    So I'm happy to respond to sensible posts but please check a few basics.

    My skin in the game - I just want to see everybody/Burke getting a fair trial and and happy seeing the legal profession/ courts making a total boll*x of this and their incompetance and unfair bias being exposed.

    And anybody who wants Burke done - without due processes / fair procedures / fair trial - I'd argue is worse than Burke.

    You may apologise any time you like, but I'll not hold my breath.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 45,528 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    You haven't explained how they "tried it in their favour". You have deliberately and effectively accused the school of acting improperly which is absolutely untrue.

    Me? I've nothing to apologise for!

    Mammy Burke and Ammi wont be happy until they are banged up too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭gk5000


    I'll spell it out:

    And I replied:

    "Of course he is.
    And the school already tried that in their favour and failed twice and they had to resign (and delayed the process).

    It's an adverserial system - that's what sides do. But the Judge in the middle shall decide"

    Any you then subsequently replied to that, with you knickers in a knot without any concept of the published history, which is:

    The school (or Department) have convened two panels at this stage which failed because were not impartial - so in other words "they tried it in their favour". Actually I vaguely remember the first one, and I think one member resisigned because of their published stance on I guess transgenderism.

    Enoch challenged this second panel and the Judge accepted that there was a serious problem, as per a few posts up.

    "Early in the proceedings, Mr Justice Cregan observed that Mr Burke had raised “substantive” and “credible” issues in his court filings.

    But on Friday the case was struck out when the judge said Mr Burke had got the main reliefs he was looking by for virtue of the resignations and the fact an entirely new DAP would have to be constituted." T

    So call it whatever way you like, - but the school/dept populated both these panels in a way that was unfair to Burke. The Judge accepted this as per above and two of the panel resigned on their own legal advice.

    So twist or put on your own slant whatever way you like , but the school/dept tried to "populate both panels in their favour"

    But, read my quote again, I do not suggest anything improper by this - "It's an adverserial system - that's what sides do"

    But, a consequence of this is that that delays to this appeal is on the school/dept - not on Burke.

    So above are the rough facts spelt out a bit, even thought it's all in the posts - already - but finally it's a fairly cheap and desperate shot to accuse me of either being one biased towards the Burkes - and again many posters on this thread have sank to Burkes level with intollerence, inability to understand facts or law, and twisting to suit some unstated agenda.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,477 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    "Enoch challenged this second panel and the Judge accepted that there was a serious problem, as per a few posts up.

    The judge made no such acceptance. You are twisting a statement that was solely an acceptance that they would have a hearing on the injunction rather than just throwing it out immediately.

    It was not, and could not, be a decision on the validity of Burkes claims. That could only be given in an actual hearing.

    You are desperate to claim any tiny victory you possibly can for the lad who is in prison by his own choice here, and its pathetic.

    It's pathetic that people cannot read or understand simple facts as reported and and are so desparate and scared of Burke that they can't accept that he has won a battle within the war, which is not over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,477 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    You are again making up meanings that simply are not there.

    The case was struck out as the DAP no longer existed, not because Burke had a valid argument.

    Pathetic upon pathetic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭gk5000


    "Opposing the application, barrister Hugh McDowell, for the panel, said the legal challenge by Burke over the conduct of the panel hearing was struck out last Friday as pointless. That strike out order followed resignations by two panel members on legal advice last month, and acceptance by the third member she could not be part of a reconvened panel. "

    So he challenged it (the panel) , and then and the panel resigned.
    Or maybe it was a total conincidence! Twist what everway you want.

    Again, its only the panel battle - don't cry, it's not the war.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 277 ✭✭goldsparkle


    Thank you for explaining and telling me. So today's hearing was getting them to purge their contempt of court which they didn't do. So next week we should probably see the aoir of them going to prison.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,920 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    You're repeating your same misunderstanding over and over. Other posters have tried to simplify it for you no avail.

    You have to agree to disagree because you're not capable of understanding or try and understand and agree you were wrong.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,477 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Two volunteers quit rather than ensue legal costs for yet another act of Burkery

    You continue to be pathetic. Why are you so, so determined to try claim a teeny tiny victory for Burke? Just so you can try pretend he isn't a loser who has thrown his life away?

    This was not a win for him. The perjury line you went down earlier, to a level that could leave you legally exposed for doing so, is not a win for him either. But yet you persist.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,798 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    How can one person still be so wrong. Its impressive Burkey-ness at this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Westernview


    Clearly strongly biased towards the Burkes. Full of contradictions regarding the legal process but determined to repeat unfounded accusations towards the legal system over and over. The mask is off.

    They weren't asked to purge their contempt, they haven't been found in contempt yet AFAIK.

    Today, he asked Martina and Ammi Burke whether they wished to contest the characterisation of their behaviour as contempt of court, and whether they wanted to offer a defence or explanation for how they acted.

    I imagine since criminal contempt seems to be such a high bar, unattainable when it comes to this mob, he needs evidence on record from the horses mouths.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,671 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Strangely the Burkes may not be classed as a cult as they are a family unless they can expand with some new members.

    But there is a boards cult on this who don't tolerate any discent.

    The mask just doesn't eventually slip, it usually flies out the window.

    Well to be fair to Enoch, he is doing the heavy lifting.

    About time Mammy and Mini Mammy put some skin on the table.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭Fotish


    “But there is a boards cult on this who don't tolerate any dissent”

    That is definitely true, as a matter of fact , you could be thread banned for any

    support for the Burke’s opinions !



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Westernview


    Thats sounds a lot like Enoch when he complains about being sanctioned for having beliefs and views, which of course he never was.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,099 ✭✭✭✭Bass Reeves


    I think you are splitting hairs calling any of the panel volunteers. One was Department of Education NOMINEE so they are nominatef by the DOE and are probably paid or it may be considered as part of the work at the level they operate innthe DOE. The second personnthat resigned was a child protected advisor with the Management Body for VoluntarSecondary Schools. Again something like making yourself available to sitnof disaplinary Psnels etc is probably of there thete remit.

    Bolunteers they are not. Its quite obivious the they were compromised by previous actions of themselves or that they they had made errors while on the panel. The other panel member was a former member of the ASTI.

    Its fairly obvious from below that in both cases EB had credible reasons to object to the composition of panel.

    I've read most of this thread, on and off, for the last few years. The recent postings of some, who claim mini victories for EB and cry about victimisation for those who try defend him, come across to me as desperation and straw clutching of the highest order. I know a number of people in my family and social circle who are STILL defending him, and no amount of factual analysis or reasoning will make them budge. Their narrative has shifted to 'corrupt judges' and 'biased teacher unions' and whatnot.

    It takes enormous energy, patience and forebearance to deal with religious fanatics and their determination to prove everyone is wrong-- plenty folk are probably exhausted by the entire rigmarole. The Burke Cult - so-called 'christians' - are incredibly unchristian and anybody still defending him needs a serious reality check (not that it might make much difference)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,477 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Volunteers or voluntold, they still are not covered for the legal costs they would ensue due to the Burkery. Hence they left.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,671 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    I think you are splitting hairs calling any of the panel volunteers.

    They are volunteers. Unless you are suggesting it's mandatory.

    One was Department of Education NOMINEE so they are nominatef by the DOE and are probably paid or it may be considered as part of the work at the level they operate innthe DOE.

    He doesn't work or has never worked for the Dept.

    The second personnthat resigned was a child protected advisor with the Management Body for VoluntarSecondary Schools. Again something like making yourself available to sitnof disaplinary Psnels etc is probably of there thete remit.

    If you have evidence this person has appeared on other panels, then share it. Otherwise you are just making up nonsense.

    The other panel member was a former member of the ASTI.

    Still a member for the ASTI. Former Vice President.

    It's worth nothing that 2 men that resigned from the panel have been there from the start, so literally years dealing with Burkery.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭gk5000


    I'm pretty sure this is incorrect - unless you have access to the confidential legal advice .

    But please post a link to your source to confirm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 277 ✭✭goldsparkle


    Was Ammi supposed to be a solicitor?

    I thought solicitors are supposed to work hard for their clients to mitigate their clients legal situation when faced with penalties or jail. Ammi just threw her family under the bus.

    To the extent that the Burkes have tactics I think they largely fight everything and use every possible avenue in search of occasional 'wins', seeking to grind the system and the people involved down through sheer determination and a willingness to use and abuse every legal route open to them.

    It's like they are trying to achieve the situation described by Douglas Adams when the population of Krikkit decided to destroy the rest of the Galaxy,- "We can't win against obsession. They care, we don't. They win."

    It's hardly surprising folks on the panels would step away- it's all down side for the individuals. You will be attacked, accused of all sorts, possibly sued. Any minor mistake, which could easily happen under the hectoring and shouting the Burkes are renowned for will be seized apon and used with vigour and relish to tarnish you. The risk reward does not add up for the people involved.

    And when people step away it's claimed as showing they were biased, when really we don't really know. But we do know that virtually any individual will be unacceptable to EB.

    Hopefully the courts will put an end to this nonsense but it's hard to beat obsession.
