In #Castlebar, few people want to go on the record about the #BurkeFamily.

The town's fundamentalist fugitives #MartinaBurke and #AmmiBurke are nowhere to be seen. The duo are sentenced to a fortnight of imprisonment for #ContemptOfCourt, like Ammi's brother #EnochBurke who is held indefinitely held for repeated #trespass.

#JusticeCregan called it a "family circus". Who wants to be caught up in that?

Report by Áine Ryan in The #IrishTimes: https://archive.is/qDld5 /https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/courts/2026/03/05/in-burke-country-many-people-have-a-lot-of-time-for-the-family-but-want-to-keep-their-heads-down/

#MartinaBurke & #AmmiBurke have been sentenced to 2 wks in prison for #contemptofcourt after repeatedly shouting in the #HighCourt.

Judge Cregan called it "a paradigmatic case of contempt" & said it was time to end the circus.

The #BurkeFamily court strategy is clear: Show up. Shout over the judge. Get removed by Gardaí, then whine when the court responds.

In a democracy, everyone is entitled to views.

But no one is above the law. The court is not their stage.

Solicitor #TerryGorry has published an update on the #EnochBurke / #BurkeFamily circus, following the sentencing on Wednesday of Enoch's mammy #MartinaBurke & his sister #AmmiBurke.

The two women were jailed for two weeks for their #ContemptOfCourt on 20th February. It was latest incident in a long line of court disruptions by the Burkes.

Terry Gorry (based in Enfield, Co Meath) has been providing regular legal commentary on the Burke saga. It is archived at https://youtube.com/@terrygorry

RTÉ's Órla O'Donnell on the jailing of #EnochBurke's mother #MartinaBurke and sister #AmmiBurke for #ContemptOfCourt.

Judge Cregan said it was "long past time for the court to call a halt to this family circus".

He said the Burkes had been treated with great forbearance by the courts but the situation where ten gardaí had to be present in court during Burke-related cases was completely abnormal and could not continue.

SHORT THREAD: On Monday, extremist #transphobe #EnochBurke was returned to prison for continued #ContemptOfCourt, by #trespass at #WilsonsHospital school.

At the #HighCourt #IEHC, #MrJusticeCregan released his written judgment on Tuesday. #CreganJ was again blunt about Burke's "performative nonsense", "avalanche of lies", and legal self-harm.

CreganJ repeated that "Burke has the keys to his own prison"; and can be released if he promises not to trespass.

Indiana town sued for blocking LGBTQ+ Pride festival (again)

This is a terrible decision by #AttorneyGeneral #RossaFanning. #EnochBurke and the #BurkeFamily have waged a persistent campaign to undermine the rule of law, by defying injunctions, disrupting court proceedings, and systematically promoting lies about the courts.

The AG has given the #Burkes a license to continue their campaign against the rule of law. 😡 Criminal #contemptofcourt will continue 😞
