#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.

Land Mines Placed Outside #WilsonsHospital School Amid #EnochBurke Release. Crocodiles too.

Another day, another #BurkeFamily show in the #HighCourt #IEHC.
It's another appeal against an appeal, this time the procedure of the Disciplinary Appeals Panel (#DAP) review of Burke's dismissal from #WilsonsHospital school.
As usual the Burkes shouted down the judge, this time Ms Justice Emily Farrell. As usual, #JusticeFarrell didn't eject Burkes from the court, didn't halt proceedings, didn't jail them for contempt.😡
Courts are letting the Burkes take the piss. 😡

Another day, another time wasting round of legal antics at the #IEHC #HighCourt in #Dublinby the religious fundamentalist #BurkeFamily of disruptive attention-seeking bigoted bullies, on behalf of their court-defying brother #EnochBurke.
"One thing is clear: the whole circus is built on a foundation of lies, and it is irresponsible and dangerous to let those lies sit unchallenged." — Elaine Crory of #TheIrishNews on #EnochBurke's campaign of #lies against #WilsonsHospital School.

Solicitor #TerryGorry gives regular legal analysis of the #EnochBurke case. Today's update explains the powers and possible decisions of the Disciplinary Appeals Panel (#DAP) which met on Saturday.
The crucial point is that the DAP cannot compel any outcome. It can only make non-binding recommendations to the #WilsonsHospital school board, but the board must give due weight to the recommendations.
Burke can seek judicial review, and/or go to an Employment Tribunal.
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
"Any statements by Mr. Burke (or other members of his family) that he is being imprisoned because of his opposition to transgenderism are lies" — Cregan J in para 61 of [2025] IEHC 711, 9 Dec 2025. https://tinyurl.com/Cregan9Dec2025
The latest #HighCourt #IEHC judgment in the Enoch Burke case repeats the facts. #EnochBurke has the keys to his own prison. The #BurkeFamily campaign is a pile of #lies against #WilsonsHospital School and against the rule of law in Ireland.
The #CourtOfAppeal has rejected #EnochBurke's application to stop his Dismissal Appeals Panel (DAP) from going ahead on Saturday 13th December. And he has to pay the Dept of Education's legal costs.
Burke was dismissed from #WilsonsHospital School in January 2023. He has reoeatedly delayed the DAP 'cos the Dept pays his salary until the DAP decides.
The DAP will end that. Either Burke gets his job back, or his dismissal is confirmed. But no more being paid to disrupt.
