Burke family, Castlebar

This teacher in Virginia was treated exactly the same a few years ago. He cited his Christian beliefs as the reason to not use pronouns being forced upon him. The school said he was creating a hostile environment and broke their discrimination practises so fired him. He then went onto to win a huge case against the school.

There’s a reason Enoch is still being paid by that school.

That's in America. A different jurisdiction. And as much as people don't like it, Enoch is in and out of prison because of contempt of court. That's it.

Point proved.

[Bubblypop]

Point proved.

Yep. That he is in prison for contempt. That is it. The courts don't take contempt lightly. He doesn't have to go to prison, he chooses to.

On a point of principle, which you well know.

It does not matter. I'd imagine a lot of people who are in contempt of court find themselves in that position on a point of principle, to their mind anyway.

It seems the brother finally got an apprenticeship after being “effectively shut out” of membership of the law library. All for the actions of his brother. Going after Enoch alone is not enough, you need to go after the entire family. This is the power of the LGBT lobby in Ireland.

Nobody goes after the entire Burke family. Every single member of the family behaves like a moron-not only Enoch. So it is no wonder everyone stays away from them.
Your man fits perfectly into the Steen clan!

Good to hear than Simeon Burke has an opportunity to participate in a legal career.

I don't get why so many people seem to think that the Burkes are "being funded from America", almost all their money comes from the Castlebar Dole office, the ones still in college are getting the full Susi grant.

Weren’t they at that “Ireland’s funds” gala dinner in Washington D.C. in March to raise awareness of Enoch and were kicked out on their arses.

I wonder where all the money raised at that dinner went, pennies to pounds says at least some went to lgbTQ initiatives.

How do you know that the Burke's are on the dole? Do you meet them when you collect yours?

[John]

How do you know that the Burke's are on the dole?

Because they are unemployed and unemployable thus are entitled to it.

God bless the Burkes is all I'll say. Frank & fearless.
