The High Court yesterday warned that if he refuses to do so, he will face fines of €700 per day until he changes his mind.
Enoch Burke speaks to media outside the front gate of Wilson’s Hospital School in Heathland, Co. Westmeath, 26-01-2023. Image: Sasko Lazarov/RollingNews The High Court later ordered him not to attend the school until the process was complete. He refused to do so and spent 108 days in prison for contempt of court.
Speaking to reporters outside the school yesterday, he continued to insist he was being fined for his religion.“With the cost of everything as we know; with the cost of fuel, with the cost of putting bread on the table, clothes on children’s backs. He said he was worked at the school for four years and has been saving to “scrape together” enough money for a house deposit.

Hang in there
This is what the public get from MSM TV and radio,meanwhile journalists from wereontheditch are doing investigative journalism
Why does the media keep feeding this family of conspiracy theorists with oxygen ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I salute you Enoch, could the transgender not went home an put a skirt on, feck sake
Gobshite
I wouldn't let him near my kids. . .
Report real issues please
Who is funding him ,that is an important question!
We need more media and focus about the homeless/housing crisis and not on this clown
What a sad, desperate little man
Can he not drive & will mammy not let him ?
The press should leave him alone. This will only encourage him more. This must be a strain on his mental health too.
Enoch is standing between your child & this, it’s just a matter of time 👇👇 This is Canada but coming soon to Ireland.
Honestly what the hell is all of this actually about & what point is he trying to make?
He got sacked for attacking the head because he didn’t get his own way. He is not a hero he is a bully. He has persistently turned up at that school throwing his weight around. He is doing it to himself. Stop giving him a platform and let them handle it appropriately
Boomerang Burke to his mates .
He’s just standing up for truth.
Why do the media keep giving Burke so much publicity?
Why is this news
Enoch Enoch …. Who’s there ?
Whos financing this
Like why has he in the window fully rolled down? Stop giving him the attention he so obviously craves
Talking to this fella earlier 👍
Ah yeah. Enoch Burke is at it again, Ted. Do you think if there was no media present, would he bother?
Now Enoch Burke us literally just assaulting the kids in that school for his own twisted religious ideology. Burke is home schooled with a religious ideology from 1900’s and he’s trying to force that centuries old ideology on everyone. That’s abusive.
Yeah, I'll call my Son Enoch. That's bound to end well...
Sorry , who?
the biggest culprits of propaganda lies for two years of fabricated covid. Newstalk loves sociopaths. Why don’t ye ask Luke O’Neill what to do 😂 😆
The celebrity has arrived, no wonder the kids don't want him at the school.
Stop giving this man air time. It’s what he wants
What a dose And his father is worse driving him around like a toddler
Surprised Jim White isn’t there to report on the latest transfer
Wow!! Not Enoch Burke?!?! Who is Enoch Burke?
I don't know what's more pathetic. Him going to the school every day, or the media outlets there waiting for him.
Upholding science
I thought he was fined
The best thing the media could do is ignore him.
Guy needs to be sectioned under mental health grounds.
What kind of fucking name is Enoch
Stop turning up and filming him. This is not newsworthy and unfair to the pupils and teachers of this school. they've suffered enough with this nerd.
Who is he or what did the plonker Do.?.
Will you’se all stop taking photos & giving that taxi driver & his son the attention they crave? If you go away, they go away.
You have to hand to Enoch he has kept this story going. The media don't realise they are the ones being played !
This getting boring. Who cares?
£700 a day and rising
Why is this guy getting attention? It's what he wants
Gotta respect his commitment to the cause.
downsey2010xxxx
Did daddy drop him off to school again?
Yet again he shows no consideration for the student at the centre of this circus, his former colleagues or the welfare of the students attending this school. He is an utter disgrace.
Bored with this story. Have you no other news to report on
I'm sorry but does this man not need psychiatric help. His behaviour is not normal
Isn’t great till brought to school by his daddy bless 😂
Can that cratur not drive himself 😂🤣
Have you nothing better to report on. Jesus christ stop giving him what he wants.
Does he not have his own driving licence?
This needs to stop.
A very sick lad will someone please get him medical attention
Your worse newstalk no coverage is best just imagine how that young child and there family are feeling this lad will have his day in the courts again!
Stop feeding into this family's agenda this is exactly the attention they are seekj g. Better server to investigate the wealthy American based Evangelical Church who will pay his fines. These people are nit Christian they are evil bigots STOP giving them airtime
His aul lad must be out a fortune on fuel costs driving the bllox to school everyday!
Why are you people giving this ‘person’ the attention they crave
Can we please stop making him news . He's an attention seeker
Why don’t the gardai arrest that guy? He is upsetting the rest of the students at that school I’m sure.
and the window down this time! Stop giving it attention!
How is all of this affecting the students and staff well-being? If anyone outside of current employees were hanging around a school, it would and should be taken very seriously.
Give him his dues he’s into persistence 🤣
Is the father not now chargeable with at least obstruction or facilitating the breach of a court order ?
Just give it a break. The entire media in this country has become utter tabloid trash. From radio to the rags there isn't a decent journalist left. Just utter tabloid trash. And again no regard for the child at the centre of it.
Wonder if he actually has books in his bag 🤔
He’s a shoe in for attendance of the week award
Omg stop bloody waiting for him at the gates. When you stop showing up to give him his fame he will disappear like other new stories.
You are using old footage.
Man keeps a stricter timetable than a Swiss train
It’s hardly “pointless” him going there if there’s a gang of reporters & photographers there publicising his illogical point of view.
They have moved on...
Ye will all be supporting this, ya?
Here comes Forest !
This is like the last day of the transfer window, who is Enoch signing for?
And Daddy slows down for the photo-op.
It is hard to swim against the tide. Easier to go with the flow but if everyone had always gone with the flow we wouldn't have human rights or civil liberties.
Don't make a celebrity out of that weirdo.
Can we please stop giving this clown any media coverage.... if the cameras disappear so will he
Will someone remind him he doesn't have to go tomorrow.
Fair play to him! he has the criminals or government if you like still maintaining that Wrong is Right and Right is Wrong and anyone doing the Right Thing will be Fined 700 euros a day...
It went from COVID 19 to this nonsense
they do this as they believe it is adding to their cause/ beliefs. Best we can do is ignore the sad little man and his daddy and they will scuttle away when they no longer gets the attention
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fair play to him. If any of our politicians had the balls he has the country would be in a better place.
Enoch is Enoch !!
Why don't the students simply pelt him with stones till he goes away
It is a 2 hour drive from Castlebar to the school. His father who appears to drive him to the school must have little else to do if he can drive him there and back each day.
Legend.
He has serious resilience
😂😂😂
Anyone ask him why won't he just feck off and leave the kids alone ?
For God sake can all the media just leave the school he'll soon get bored if he isn't getting the attention.
'Although he had his window rolled down, Mr Burke didn’t answer questions' A cold morning yet still had window rolled down so his photo could be taken. What a tool.
Window down for max attention
Support this guy.
Arriving with the window down so his picture can be taken, the dope
LiveatOriel And with the window open so they can take his photograph.
ze/hir/hirs, ey/em/eir, ay/em/airs, they/them/their, ne/nim/nir The school had no right to force him to this Orwellian Newspeak. The right is on his side. It is a crime to use loopholes to convict a person who has not committed any crime.
This guy is making it so he’ll never work as a teacher again. What school would possibly even think about hiring him after all this.
'FULL STORY' 🤦♂️we know the story please stop telling it
Shut the gates.
Stop covering it
And again, why is that fruitcake not in jail.... 🙄
Anyone else hear “ morning anal” or just me?
Will ye guys give up snapping this guy. He knows ye have nothing better to do and even has his car window down to get himself a clearer photo for your paper/tv. Go away and he will give up.
This lad is a glutton for punishment . Over such a silly bloody thing too 🙄.
Enoch Burke or Enough, Berk?
Frightening.
The window down, naturally
AislingGilsena2
He’s behaving like a paedophile
The teachers who walk past Enoch every morning should feel ashamed
An honourable man treated like dirt
If you keep giving this amoeba attention hell keep turning up to the school stop reporting on him and hell soon give up once his funds run out after having to pay his fines.
Who needs Duffy’s🤡
Is he on the Late Late tonight Probably a lot more interesting than the normal 'celebridy' twats Ryan has on !! We should start a GoFundMe page to cover his fines 😁
Window down to make sure they all get plenty of pics while his Daddy drives him
I don't understand what the outrage is all about
Embarrassing how much 'reporting' is done on this non-story, while deliberately ignoring the real issues around the country.
Stop giving him coverage and he’ll disappear
Bit weird a middle aged man hanging around a secondary school
Typical McConalogue oversees sales of public forestry to British fund and ye report in a man being persecuted for his religious belief.This man was not teaching this child he nearly stated he would not address them as they or their new pronoun based on his beliefs
Don’t be there in the morning and he goes home
Would the press ever cop on and stay away. All you are doing is feeding these attention whores with what they need. he even had his window down so you could get a good shot.
It's the same picture everyday. Just take one Monday and run with it and leave the school alone.
The fact that the press are following this non story is hilarious
Great to see✌️
Windonfully opwn so clearly he’s looking for the attention…. Time to leave him at it, all by his lonesome…
Thought Man Utd had signed a new striker there fo a minute!
Return him to prison for contempt, and let him rot there. Problem solved.
Stop giving him oxygen
Narcissists crave attention. Stop giving it to him.
It's more than a joke now, disturbing he keeps showing up at the school after being dismissed.
Go Enoch!!!
evanmooney08
How many of the same photos do we need of this knob
Take a shot every time he goes back there
Nice to see daddy bringing him to school. What did mum put in his sandwiches? Bet Hos lunchbox has a dinosaur on the front! Pathetic loser.
the poor eejit. this is what parents are not for.
This is beyond a joke from everyone there,there are kids there getting caught up in the circus, ridiculous now
Well you can't fault his commitment to his cause and principals. Is he the only person in Ireland prepared to stand up against what to be told to say/think by the thought police?
Window wound down for maximum photo opportunity
Bored!
ignore the bollix
I thought this is a Christian ✝️ country 🤔
Just stop now
He's a foolish foolish boy
Dan_i_elle88
Enoch Already 🙄🙄🙄
AlliDeasy day 4
Enough attention giving already!
Why is he not stopped at the gate?
If I had kids in that school, I'd refuse to let them attend until he was no longer around. Highly dangerous precedent to allow a random non-employed person loiter on school grounds, if he can do it, anyone can...
There's a very good reason he arrives daily with the window's down ... he craves this attention and you are feeding him! Religious bigots have held this island to ransom for centuries.. stop giving them this platform.
EnochBurke is a good candidate for being sectioned. His actions aren't those of a sane person.
Ground hog day lol
LiveatOriel Why are ye even there?!? Wise up and stop giving him attention.
He's loving it. Ignore him FFS. Let him stand and wait.
Jesus he's hanging around a school more than Pedo does
More non sense drama and distractions... Giving hassle to a teacher because he used pronouns... while criminals, paedos are left on the loose. Classic justice/garda. 🙄🙅♀️
Enoch. What a terrible thing to name your child
He will own the school by the time he's finished with them millons of euros
Everyone here ridiculing him - ask yourself, if a child demanded you call them 'they' or you'd be sacked from your work - you'd just accept the situation? He's fighting for all of us.
What harm is he doing ?
Whoever is driving this clown should be charged with aiding and abetting a criminal breach of the law
Whose paying his fines?
🫣😏ffs
Even has the window down to allow for better photos 🙄
What is he hoping to achieve disrupting the school day .... he won’t he getting his job back.... he says his religious beliefs are being undermined but how is this helping we all now know his story
Stop turning up to this school every morning.
Like close the gates mcass89
Fair play to him 👏 👍 a man's career shouldn't be ruined over bullshit pronous or a snowflake who doesn't if she/him is a man or woman!
Why is Enoch Burke allowed access to the school grounds? He has no business there
Getting creepy now
The media giving him the attention he wants and craves
Ye and the media are worse for giving him the publicity.
Would ye ever stop following that eejit every where he goes only loving the publicity
STOP!!!!!!
Press needs to leave, they’re probably more intimidating for the students than Billy No Mates standing on his own
Does he not even have a fecking driving license himself ffs.... Mammys boy
I thought he was to incur a €700 fine for everytime he breaks in?
Would media seriously stop publicising this? What's the story? Bloke stands outside school... he's doing it for you now. Just stop.
He is certainly testing the system, he has gone where no man has gone before.
There must be an empty bed in some psychiatric unit for him!
Heeeerrrrrrrreeeesss Enoch!!
I always drive to work with the window open
In an age of people in this country not wanting to work and slacking off, Enoch really bucks the trend 👌
Jeez stop giving this guy the media attention FFS
Bit weird if you ask me
Meanwhile back at Leinster House…
I noticed he's got the window down this time. Makes for a better image
Why are news outlets still reporting on this. Remove the attention from this situation, protect the school and the students and let the authorities deal with it instead of giving them the oxygen they crave
Gavin O'Reilly gavin_oreilly · 15h If Enoch Burke had have been suspended from a religious school for demanding staff and students pretend he was a woman Then not only would he have never been imprisoned, he'd be given a weekly slot on RTÉ and Virgin Media
He needs an agent and to get himself on celebrity TV... I'm a celebrity get me out of here imacelebrity or bbuk
Interesting that he nearly always has the passenger window down ...
If the media stopped turning up he would soon get fed he's getting what he wants attention surely theirs more important thing's for news talk could be consatrating on like Irish people sleeping rough ,queuing for food and clothes at night and sleeping outside in this cold weather
I would have thought a good Protestant like him would have walked to school, they love an oul walk that lot. 😂😂😂
The guy has some guts to keep this going. Can the Dept not mediate the situation? Good teacher as well, isnt there a shortage...
Fair play to this man for standing up for reality and not pandering to some kid with gender dysphoria
It's all for attention, sure his dad slows down for the cameras. STOP giving him attention
ENOCH Verb [intransitive] To repeatedly attend / arrive at a location / event, to which you are uninvited / unwanted - I see he pulled an enoch again even though he was sacked last week - He enoched his way into the school - He is enoching up the courts system again
What an absolute bellend. Hope he gets bankrupted..
This man would be golddust on LoveIsland . Standing outside the villa for weeks after being evicted 💔💔
Did u not get his photo yesterday ? … walk away guys and leave him be ! This story dies when you stop feeding it 🙄🙄
When does reporting ‘the news’ become perpetuating ‘the news’. I would to see if the media didn’t attend the school gates every day what would happen.
Ciaransmith8
If the clicks stop then the outlets move on. As long as we keep clicking ( guilty!) they keep posting.. maybe just ignore the tweets? Comedy gold that it is however..
We all should leave him alone. Publicising this isn’t helping anyone and making it harder for him to back down. He can’t be well. Also means the student that this arose around has to cope with it day after day. I feel for them so much but also for Enoch.
The reason they are there is to show every other teacher in the country if you push back against woke gender ideology this is what will happen to you
🤦🏼
Ffs what has Ireland become ?
Wilson’s Hospital School should hold their classes in Croke Park…..No Mayo man has ever showed up there….
Stop feeding the story, it's what he wants.
What a helmet
Maybe this will end when the transfer window closes? Not sure any other school will want Enoch though 🤔
Driven by his dad he should be arrested too
Stop giving him the attention he's craving. Imagine if ye gave as much coverage to all the government corruption, cronyism and scandals
If Enoch Burke doesn't want to recognise the legitimacy of the free state courts that's his right
plunkettmcaleer
They may as well sell them gates!
Window open so photographers get the snap tells you all about his motivation. I reckon the imminent go fund me from the states will cover his fines (and the rest)
This is ridiculous. The journalista need to just walk away its hardly even a story anymore. Let him stand there alone for a few days with no coverage being charged 700 a day and it wont last long.
Can you STOP giving this individual media access. Switch off his media stream and this will stop.
Extreme religious beliefs are the most powerful motivator
Has anyone proof that it's him turning up every day and not one of his siblings? I include his sisters in this. Tough call.....
Full story? Jesus wept lads.
700 well spent
Well he’s never going to be a teacher again… who would hire him? I don’t care if his deity is a purple insect that lives under the gas on Jupiter, he can’t terrorize the poor kids and staff at that school…
Stop giving him the oxygen of publicity.
It's hilarious now you lot who are for this pronoun brigade just come across like nonces who take their kids to drag story time :) Wear that badge with pride 😅🤣😂
Like a soccer player going to training at this stage. Wait till the kids arrive looking for autographs 🙄
If only Enoch's father had driven him to school when he was younger! enochburke
Fair play too him. Doing what many teachers are too afraid of.
Madness the guy is 100% right
Judge said fine was 700 euro a day or “just shy of 5k a week” does that mean he is being charged for weekends too ? TGorrySolicitor
sharb08 🤣
Good on him.
Is that citywest Of course not..no media there...
try ignoring him..
Stay at home for one day and use the €700 to pay for Driving Lessons👍
Notice how the dad purposely slows down the car so the media can take their picture? This is all calculated. He won’t stop
Those poor kids that are trying to go to school.
Stop filming the prick and he might stop turning up vultures
Aww here leave it out
Has anyone noticed if he's flashing the 'Help Me' sign? Because it looks to me like he's a captive, mentally and physically.
That church got money 🤌🏻
Please stop reporting - it’s not news
Window down !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣idiot
Why? Seriously!! It’s not fair on the children and teachers trying to teach with this distraction!
He needs to go on love island, a cheaper 15 mins of fame!!
There are more important stories than this dragging saga.
Am I the only one thinking that if the cameras weren’t there he might go away?
Why is the press giving him the publicity he is seeking by being outside the school ? Stay away.
What a fool this lad is
Stop giving him attention you cretins
Surely the man continually trying to gain access to children when he has been told not too should be on some sort of a register at this stage🤷🏻♂️
Lot to be said for watering the lawns these mornings 🤔
Clown show - stop giving this guy publicity
Is he not able to drive to work himself. Or does he think he’s a celebrity now or something with his driver
He loves the attention an now willing to pay €700 a day for it 🙄
Boring
This is example of Extremist religion+how toxic it is+how it brainwashes people to cause chaos due to false radical beliefs. Open minded religions that accepts everybody like Hinduism, Some forms of Christianity, Islam in it's non radical form,Buddhism are only true religions.
Why does daddy Burke slow down each day at the gates for the photo opp. This is turning into a publicity circus and the media have been sucked in big time. All becoming a bit boring at this stage.
What’s the end game here Enoch?
€700 down the drain. He must of enjoyed his time in jail
Ah FFS and Daddy drives him. This is pathetic.
He has the window open, clearly wants to be photographed. Stop playing his game for him.
Dad ahould be driving him to seek help, this young man is clearly not right in the head 😞
Playing to the media. Stop taking his picture. Such a circus outside a school.
An absolute hero
Christ - he's gone full creepy stalker mode 😳 He genuinely needs psychological help, & deserves any fines he receives for playing the victim card. This isn't about religious belief - it's about refusing to abide by court rulings.
Enoch is Enoch, seriously.
👏🤣…Ground Hog Day
Why doesn't he make the most of this situation and get his grown arse some driving lessons.
If he changed his religious allegiance to Islam, would he then get the respect he deserves? Asking for a friend.
Plenty of real News out there - Why don't you go and look for it ?
Give him an interview. I haven't heard his point
the jabbed who are grateful to have managed to live for another day would 100% be against Enoch , him having a back bone been a man of honour.that they would hate, either ur a sheep like them or they hate you, they would be all in on the ukraine proxy war crap also.😂😂😂😂😂😜
Over policing language? Or is there more to the story?
Auditioning for his part on transfer deadline day next week is young Enoch!!!!!
Dog with a bone Jesus 🙈
Is there no local that would drop him down a cupàn & a ham sambo ?
Assylum children bringing knives into national school, Irish children told to not to tell their parents
For what purpose ? Its a psych assessment he needs not a fine
Yet dangerous criminals are roaming the streets stabbing and raping and you're worried about a teacher who won't call a boy a girl
This guy is courting the press. He lowers the window so his photo can be taken.
Gemily83
If the cameras vanished, so would he.
Standing around outside a school staring at children like the Childcatcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Imagine supporting a grown man's right to ignore a court order barring him from a school. Dodgy as hell.
He does have an unfair dismissal case however if he continues to behave like this he’s going to end up with huge fines and a possible custodial sentence again 😬
move on to another story .
sarahcantwell_
window open for full attention. just stop covering him in the media for fuck sake.
What a clown
' The Tool at the school'
And ye wonder why he’s doing it
Back to learn some of his tricky words in jolly phonics , I , he , we , she , they !!!!
I hope enoch runs for local office, and works his way up to be our national education minister. The radicalleft grooming and indoctrination of vulnerable children would soon be wiped out of our classrooms.
leee_bbb there you go
With all these €700 fines he could save up and buy himself a car.
The media are just as bad, they are fueling this, move on, leave the school alone, there are more important & far more interesting things to report on than this!
Fair play keep it up Enoch proud of you👍
Window down for a good picture 😂
Gone beyond a joke now.
All the 'them', 'they' and 'it' kids in that school must be getting really confused with all this carry-on going on each day
It was funny and shocking the first time.. but this is beating the horse with a stick one too many times now..
His father is assisting his son in a crime too, so should he not also face prosecution?
some duty of care for school children, the parents have a lot to blame for this fucked up lot
The lad has made himself unemployable like his sister. Life will be tough.
again, I ask , WHY are you, and all the other lost media outlets present there, repeatedly giving him a platform? Walk away and it's then a none story, YOU are making it a story!
Boomerang Burke
Pathetic by both him and the attending media. A circus 🎪
It's not that hard. You were fired/let go and no longer work there. You don't have a kid there. You're not allowed on the grounds. This 'woe is me' martyr thing is pure BS.
He’s a legend. A weird, antiquated legend that wont back down from woke fascism
They should make him 'sign on' at Mullingar Garda Station, every hour during school hours.
I actually think the school should provide a little chair for him and maybe a parasol. He can become the school's garden hermit. The students could take selfies with him. He can grow old and live in a giant amphora outside the gates like Diogenes.
