Orange is the new Burke

Jemima would definitely be keen. Maybe she's keeping the head down after her own kerfuffle last year, but she's appeared in a few videos anyway.

I didn't know one of the others had been banned from appearing. There ability to disrupt is definitely weaker but there will definitely be more Burkery before this is finished I reckon.

It was a chess move by the Judge. They can't show up at any more court hearings now without being arrested on their way in. Check. But by not turning up they're showing their cowardice and the fact that they place their liberty above their principles. Mate.

It's nothing at all like mildly embarassing, and the Indo is just doing what the Indo does best - generating click bate journalism.

Three Burkes down. At least three more nuisances to go.

Ah stop man. Do you feel the same way about every other law that's broken thousands of times a day? Do you demand a zero tolerance approach and 100% prosecution policy for every law broken on a daily basis? Don't venture out onto the roads if that's the case!

Anyone with a bit of sense can see exactly what's going on with this Court Order. If they try to take test basis on which the order was made they'll find themselves arrested pronto - so no more public protests here, accosting people on the street, turning court hearings into circus events. Job done. Once the Enoch business is dealt with, and if haven't purged their contempt, they'll be dealt with then. In the meantime they're essentially under house arrest and the court proceedings can get dealt with quicker.

As EB is the person who is in dispute with WHS and injuncted the [members of the DAP panel that EB allegd had a bias against him], I take it that if other members of his family try to disrupt any hearing of his appeal, they, as not being the principal party, can be injuncted in turn by the panel and ordered by the courts to stay away from any new DAP hearings, the location where the panel would do its business and not harass or interfere with the panel and its members. They are NOT in any legal dispute with the DAP.

To date, as I understand it, EB is the person who injuncted the last three person panel [and the previous one as well] to get the courts block any DAP heaings into his claim. It seems to me that there is no legal reason why any other member of the Burke family should not be injuncted if they interfere with any proceedings of the DAP and EB.

Edited first para above to delete DAP and include the words [members of the DAP panel that EB alleged had a bias against him].

The question I asked about the Burke family members stands [as yet] unanswered.

Long live independent countries from oppression by the bear.

There is also the third possibility that the three former members of the panel recognized that the Burkes would run with EB's claim of bias if they refuted it without being able to prove definitely that they had no bias against EB because of his stated beliefs and that they were NOT MINDED to care more for the people that EB and the Burkes have a definite religious bias against THAN TO PROVIDE an honest unbiased judgement on the claim EB had submitted in respect of his job at WHS.

It's simply that the allegations that EB made against them could not be disproven no matter what they did so they just walked away rather than waste their time giving him and the other Burkes more time gaming the panel members futures away for free publicity benefitting no one except the Burkes.

The Burkes have been playing the Justice system here cynically for their own biased belief that they are to be the ultimate decider on others peoples futures, be the person a school pupil, a member of a DAP panel or. presently, the judiciary.

A much more likely implication to be honest. And also pulls the rug from under his posturing.

What do you base that "highly unlikely" assertion on? And your "seem to signify… valid basis" assertion on? There's a lot of speculation and 1+1=3 postulating there IMO. Sometimes the obvious answer is to actual answer… there isn't always a need to look for shadows. I wonder how you'd stand up to effectively being put on trial in public by the Burkes? Would you say "f**k that, I'm done with this charade" or would you say "oh no, I must await legal advice before deciding whether I'm going to do what I already know is best for me and my family"?

I don't think the Gardai are concerned in any way in the slightest. The idea that they couldn't nab the Burkes anytime they want is ridiculous. They've nabbed much more dangerous, elusive fugitives in short order before. The Courts and the Gardai have the Burkes exactly where they want them - under self-imposed imprisonment in jail (Enoch) and at home (Mammy and Ammi).

Some people are desperate to try and paint the Burkes as geniuses here and the State as incompetent - previously it was the Courts not being strong enough and now its the Gardai not being determined enough.

Umm. So the fallout from the DAP panel members being smeared by the Burke family resulting in them walking away from the panel is now to transfer the blame on those who "appointed" the panel members?

Is it your opinion that anyone appointed to the panel must have no opinion on any issue contrary to any opinion or base belief held by The Burke family? That would surely make it well nigh impossible to satisfy their desire for a "pure as driven snow" panel to hear EB's complaint against WHS.

They'd have to get the da to do the driving
