Today in #Athlone, a Dept of Education Disciplinary Appeals Panel (DAP) meets to hear #EnochBurke's appeal against Jan 2023 dismissal from #WilsonsHospital School.

Burke is transported by #Gardai from #MountjoyPrison. So a day+overtime for 3 Gardai, & use of secure vehicle. #BurkeFamily will be present, so at least 6 more Gardai. Plus costs of the panel itself, & 3 years of Burke's salary, & procedural appeals.

Total cost of #DAP must be about ~€200K. That's before the costs of his trespassing

It's a Tuesday, so #bully #bigot #EnochBurke was in the #HighCourt, getting manners put on him by #MrJusticeCregan. 👏

#BurkeFamily removed by #Gardai before hearing began. #EnoughAlready; #Cregan gives them no more chances.👏

Enoch was on video link from prison, but his microphone was cut when he shouted. #EnoughIsEnough. Cregan dismissed Burke's allegations. 👏
