BREAKING: New #EnochBurke data from the Central Statistics Office in Dublin.
Today the CSO released its latest data on the extent of the #BurkeFamily / #WilsonsHospital saga.
* 471,803,219¼ hearings so far.
* 99.71403% of all court cases in the history of Ireland involve the #BurkeFamily.
* Over 300 specialist mental hospitals have opened to give sanctuary for #Gardai, judges, lawyers, and other personnel whose minds have collapsed due to Burke Exposure.
In July 2022, religious extremist teacher #EnochBurke was suspended for 'intimidating a colleague' and 'breaching student's confidence' at #WilsonsHospital School in #CountyWestmeath. Burke entered the school after his suspension, defied a #HighCourt #IEHC order to stay away, and was jailed. In January 2023, Enoch Burke was sacked.
This court report by Aodhan O'Faolain in the #IrishMirror https://archive.is/JLHy1 is a good account of the reasons for his suspension and dismissal.
Delusional religious extremist #EnochBurke is to stay in prison. #IrishTimes https://archive.is/QOtPO
Today, the fanatical #transphobe declined the opportunity to purge his #ContemptOfCourt, repeating his fantasy that he was not trespassing at #WilsonsHospital school, despite a court order to stay away. Burke appeared in the #HighCourt #IEHC by video link, so was unable to disrupt the court.
Burke has already spent a total of >650 days in prison. He will reappear in court in 4 weeks.
Ireland is stuck in a legal drama over an ex-teacher. #EnochBurke and his large family of religious fundamentalist headbangers are in a four-year battle with #WilsonsHospital school. The dispute began with the school's request that staff respect a pupil's request that when a pronoun is used, they be referred to by the prounoun "they".
#SingularThey is at least 651 years old, which may be a bit modern for the #BurkeFamily.
The #OED tells the story at https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/
Jailed #transphobic teacher #EnochBurke has been told of resignations from a disciplinary appeal panel convened to hear his appeal against his 2003 dismissal from #WilsonsHospital School. As a result, the panel can no longer deal with Burke’s appeal, the letter stated.

----------------
So yet another new panel will have to be convened. And 3 years after Burke's dismissal, the saga is unresolved 😡
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.

Its Friday. Two days since #EnochBurke was released from prison, and Burke's second day back trespassing at #WilsonsHospital school, in breach of the court order.
Burke is due in the #HighCourt #IEHC at 2pm for #MrJusticeCregan to hear an application by the school to return him to prison.

I assume that Burke will not attend, and that the Gardai will then take the best part of a week to catch him. #sigh
#EnochBurke is due back in the #HighCourt #IEHC at 2pm on Friday 16th, for a hearing on the application by #WilsonsHospital that Burke should be returned to prison. The judge will be #JusticeBrianCregan, who jailed Burke in November, but released him on Wednesday.

#EnochBurke is back #trespassing at #WilsonsHospital, defying an injunction, as he told the #HighCourt #IEHC he would do.
#Garda did not arrest Burke because they did not have a warrant. The school now has to send its barrister to court. The warrant will be issued, then Gardai will spend days hunting Burke.
The #BurkeFamily is being allowed to mock the High Court. The court needs power to issue pre-emptive warrants, to allow immediate arrest.
