Jailed teacher Enoch Burke will not be released for Christmas like he has been in the past, a High Court judge said on Wednesday.

Mr Justice Brian Cregan also said he did not intend to release him for Easter and he did not understand why he was released in the past during his previous four jailings for contempt.

Others in prison for contempt were not treated like this and let out even though they fail to purge their contempt, he said.

The judge gave Mr Burke a review date of March 3rd, but in the meantime he has liberty to apply to purge his contempt.

The judge also granted an order for Mr Burke to appear in person at a December 13th reconstituted disciplinary appeals panel hearing of his appeal against his dismissal from Wilson’s Hospital School in Co Westmeath.

He was suspended in 2022 and later dismissed following a public confrontation with the then-principal over an instruction to call a transgender student by a new name and with the pronouns “they/them”. He claims this amounted to a refusal to allow him exercise his constitutional and religious beliefs.

Mr Burke handed up what he said was the Oxford English Dictionary meaning of certain words but when he did so the judge said it was not the Oxford English version. What Mr Burke submitted was “Oxford Languages” and not the authoritative version, he said.

“One needs to be more intellectually rigorous if you are asking me to set it aside,” the judge said.

He claims this amounted to a refusal to allow him exercise his constitutional and religious beliefs.

I'm getting tired of this argument against going along with transinsanity. Though the "religious beliefs" argument does have 1st Amendment protection here in the U.S.

I'd rather argue that forcing someone to speak in transgender-eeze is forcing people to speak against reality. The left should be the one to have to make the case for why their fantasy should be spoken by everyone else.

What words are we talking about here? They/them? I have a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary….

Real Irishmen would have “clonked” this poofter POS “justice” years ago in the street.

Must not be any real men in Ireland any more.

OTOH, the new Palestinian Irishmen will take care of the poofter trash like Cregan quite handily...

Ireland has a constitution? I wonder what it says about free speech.

So do ICE agents. And BATFE agents. And State/county/city police officers. And Sheriffs. And congressthings. And State legislators. And ...

Why doesn’t Trump just put U.S. sanctions on the judge and prosecutor? They did that for the vile, Jew-hating Arab “UN Rapporteur on Palestine” and it has utterly ruined her life in every way, even though she lives in Italy. I guarantee they would release Burke in days if Trump did this.

The Burkes are quite an activist type of family!

Daily Mail, December 21, 2024
There are 10 children, many studying to be lawyers, many having been bodily carried out of courtrooms to protest the convictions or judgements against Enoch or at other times, the Father Sean.

Sean Burke received two months sentence for assaulting
a Garda (Police Officer) Victoria Fisher in a courtroom scuffle which left her bruised after she was knocked over and fell on a radiator.

Sister Ammi 33, was cleared of obstructing another police officer in the same incident which saw family matriarch Martina escorted from the hearing for shouting at judges.
