I wonder how this will work out for him

Will be very interesting to see how Mammy behaves now when it's her that has to do a bit of porridge or accept a bit of punishment instead of constantly throwing her own kids under the bus.
With 10 kids, statistically one of them is probably LGBTQ+. I wonder how they feel?
I might have said it but I always wondered if there was a black sheep in the family....you know, fierce sound altogether, doesn't like arguing or causing a fuss, not really religious, a fine day Christian at best when it comes to the rules and regs, likes the pints etc
Like Crocodile Dundee?
They didn't have to appear in court.
They never have to appear in court, it's nothing to do with them.
The one time they don't is when they were going to be arrested.
But you think that is just a coincidence?
You sure?
oh well, maybe next time. 🤣
How many of the Burke's are actually normal people, does anyone know?
Can't wait to hear Enochs reaction to mammy and sis getting some time.
Funny you refer to “go into hiding”, the Gardai no less, in some online newspaper article I read, mentioned that they didn’t believe there was a strong support network in Mayo that would shelter the two ladies - just thought that was an interesting thing to have said.
So it appears there won’t be a “flight of the doves” moment in this escapade - pity as that would be fun to see play out over time
I don’t think singing would be a feature of their church attendance, not austere enough.
They are/were known for singing. They're not 100% puritans.
Maybe 85%
Wonder is it cheaper to have a Garda sit outside and pretend to look for them or actually house them in jail. A quick google (so could be well off) has it around 280 a day per person, so 560 for the two.
It is better value to just sit outside and do nothing, with a typical garda wage per day being far less.
I would have immense pity for the arresting guards listening to mammy and Ammi ranting on their way to prison.
Could you imagine listening to them on the 3 hour drive to the dochas? It would melt the head off you.
Danger money/an additional hardship payment would be in order or good quality ear protection and soundproof glass is the least the state could do
There’s a lawsuit against the state in it yet- a daycent 25 yo yo’s payout at least per guard
It's ironic that mammy has disappeared now that she herself has the opportunity to be martyred for the cause.
Delighted she is facing comeuppance. A truly loathsome and diabolical person.
Turn up the radio full belt with Eminem 😁
Way to make a bad situation even worse. 😖
I refuse to address this thread by its new title - it is an offence against my personal beliefs as I do not recognise orange as a real colour.
I'm now off to assault a moderator and then claim to be a victim.
It could give them the opportunity to try out their new tasers.
So you can make whatever assertion you like, but when someone else contradicts you you say only a court can decide. Uhuh.
There is no basis whatsoever for claiming the principal's instruction was unlawful - neither the Burkes, you nor anyone else has managed to provide any credible basis for such a claim
And it is a fact that religious ethos schools have an exemption from the Equal Status Act. The personal religious beliefs of teachers are irrelevant, they do what they are told or go work elsewhere.
Irish Times:
The present day reputation of the Burkes seems far removed from a time, less than a decade ago, when some of the then teenage children had part-time jobs in McDonald’s and, in the case of Jemima, enjoyed a work placement for two summers at the Connacht Telegraph.
Funnily enough they made no mention of the time, over a decade ago, when the Burkes were outside the Dail on a frequent basis with vile placards and homophobic chants. Not so cuddly, that.
or their college shenanigans, which must have been around that time.
Luckily it wasn't Burger King. They would have refused to serve anyone who asked for a Whopper.
Mam on the run.
What time does the live streaming of the screaming commence? And who’s in charge of making the popcorn this time?
Or the website they created "proving" that Katherine Zappone was an actual witch
https://www.katherinezappone2020.ie/
All the work of the Burke family.. Back in 2020..
Hilariously , Enoch considered her a huge threat to the nation because -
Katherine Zappone, as she drafts policy informed by her fervent religious beliefs, is, in my opinion, a danger in any cabinet position. In such circumstances, I cannot be silent.
Ok for me , but not for thee , eh ?
They also had a similar website against David Norris
Notice basically the only similarity between those two politicians.
They have both been Senators? 😉
And yet, some will still with a straight face tell you it's about 'taking a stand' and not an obvious extension of their longterm bigotry. That's zealots for you though.
Is that in today's I/Times or one from recent days?
