FFS! 😡 in the #HighCourt #IEHC, the usually very sane #JusticeBrianCregan has released #EnochBurke from #Mountjoy. 👎

It's so that Burke has time to prepare for his case against the DAP. Cregan says that Burke will be promptly returned to prison if he trespasses on school property. But Burke says "If I am released from this court today, I will be at my workplace tomorrow". So why release him to restart the arrest cycle? 😡
