Noting Mr Burke’s intention not to purge his contempt, the judge directed that he returned to Mountjoy.
In his submissions Mr Burke said that despite spending the last two nights in prison repeated his intention not to comply with the court’s orders, as to do so would be a denial of his deeply held Christian beliefs. Mr Burke also said that the disciplinary procedures against him by the school are flawed and described any allegation of gross misconduct against him as being “ludicrous”.
The school claims that his refusal to comply with the injunction may be disruptive to the school’s students at the beginning of the new academic year. The order was obtained because the board claims that Mr Burke was not abiding by the terms of his suspension, which it is alleged he believes is unlawful, by attending at the school.

Doesn't need to compromise his beliefs to purge himself of contempt of court, he's not in there for those beliefs. Just needs to acknowledge he broke the law by defying a court order and then abide by the court order to stay away from that school, which he has no right to be in.
👍
i love a martyr
Get ready for more progressive gender politics Ireland.
Great news. Maybe the rest of the burkes can join him
what a dope he needs to get educated
It's a weird world.. if you have any 'inny' your a 'she' or a 'her'. If you have any 'outy' your a 'he' or a 'him' . Basic biology... your either a male or a female. No in-between... am I gonna get a slap from twitter for saying that... its a basic fact.
And yet paedophiles walk the streets with a slap on the wrist. Strange times we're living in.
Time to change English grammar books? We were always told he, she, it was different than they, them. What is the right word to say multiple new 'them'?
Nobody is asking him to change his twisted beliefs. He's been asked to stay away from the school he was suspended from for abusing staff.
Well done to him for making a stand.
Win win
Evil is around when a person is put in jail for using free speech.
Well then he's just a bit of an eejit isn't he
In his ruling, the judge accepted the school’s board of management argument that the application before the court was not about Mr Burke’s opposition to transgenderism nor his religious beliefs.
Hopefully he isn’t getting paid while in prison?
Wonder what all the muslims coming into the country daily think about all of this ?
Not enough strong to be as good as enough in keeping his beliefs.
Compelled speech and imprisonment by the new totalitarian woke regime
eja_brod Enoch is highlighting the hypocrisy and apostasy of so-called Christian schools around the country.
Very optimistic a 100 years.
'MartyrDumb'
The child's welfare is all that really matters.
Enoch Burke may have been out of line with the manner of his challenge to the head of the school (we don’t know) but why the hell wasn’t the disciplinary hearing held during the summer to avoid this fiasco when the kids were back🤷🏻♂️ EnochBurke WilsonsHospital
The teacher is right. The school have no right to suspend him. He has every right to attend school therefore the school have broken the contract. Court is wrong for stopping him doing his job. If the school was right why didn't they fire him. well done Teacher.
Good enough .. What a total spanner …
He is a political prisoner
He’s a teacher and he thinks he will live for another 100 years … probably shouldn’t teach science or maths then
Does he not care about the child? A Christian would.
Enoch Burke for Taoiseach
I rejoice. Here we have a Christian man with a spine! ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥
My admiration and respecto! If we all did the same this would have already finished...
I hope he sticks to his principles... Really really....
The I.T. is at it again. The headlines suggest that a person has been jailed for his religious beliefs. The story underneath flatly contradicts them.
Choose your fighter
They should be ashamed of theirselves
brilliant
If Islam or Buddhism was the religion there’d be uproar. As it’s Roman Catholic not a care is given.
Problem solved so
Someone better tell him biblical ages were pure mythology.
Fine, just don't go back into the school a court order banned him from?
He's only posing that his incarceration is for religious beliefs. In fact he's in jail for being on school grounds in violation of a court order. Let the weirdo out and let him cause criminal trespass, then let's see how he likes prison.
Judging by the reply comments, Burkes selfless act of integrity & righteousness seems to have fallen on deaf ears, or worse, people are simply egnorant to it!
Good man
He would not be in prison but for Ireland adopting the demented lunacies of American Cultural Imperialism.
God help whoever he is sharing a cell with!
If anyone ever starts to feel sorry for him languishing in prison just remember, he can walk out the door any time he chooses.
Bully🤔🤔🤔 more like the child & parents bullying the teacher over Trans Rainbow BS ideology Pronouns.. Ppl need to think for themselves instead of being led by big US backed NGOs pushing these agendas
Why the hell can't children be called by their NAME
The mother really did a job on him/them didn't she.
Fair play to him
Fair play to u stand u ground
Taxpayers will be funding him, whether in school or in prison!
Good on him. Why should he fight this on their terms - so they can sweep it under the carpet and get rid of him quietly? He’s publicly & internationally shamed them. I hope he wipes the floor with this school and the idiot parents involved
What a legend 💪 👏
A very principled man, you do not see this too often these days.
The guy clearly has mental health issues
He might be a bit of a nutcase but he has balls as big a bells and moral fortitude!!!my prayer with you Mr Burke. Of contempt, he guilty but we’re just as guilty allowing a morally repugnant trans ideology to take hold on our schools. I would never accept compelled speech
Well done Mr Burke 👏🏼👏🏼
Good man
He will be out next week.
How did this fascist creep get garda clearance to teach children in the first place? Himself & his deranged family have abused, hounded & harassed so many for yrs incl HSELive staff throughout the pandemic. Ppl/children need protecting from dangerous lunatics like this!
The new woke religion has been blasphemed.
They're moving him into gen pop . Excellent news. Leave him there. And the school can move ahead with firing him .
King shit 👑
CRUCIFY HIM! (Seriously. It's what he'd want)
A man with principle . Standing up all the woke goons
Question.. why cant he have his own beliefs and thoughts
A man of courage and principle.
AineNicOisin All that fella has to do to be released is to say he won't go near the school.... Get on with it...
Stay in prison. ..
The notoriety this guy is getting is exactly why is doing what he is doing. Regardless of your views on his opinions, it should be clear that he is not acting in good faith, but rather engineering some notoriety for himself.
Good for him 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the energy. This is the stance. Do not bend the knee to the Cult. God give him strength.
Man deserves a medal. What a hero.
Not all hero's wear capes
Based
'contrary to scripture'. He's referring to the book with the talking snake, right?
👏👏👏👏👏👏 fair play 🤡🌍
Good stuff. Now to get rid of the rest of them
Im sure there are schools in the USA or Russia that will accommodate him
He's dead right.
We'll get him to accept the Virgin Mary yet!
Enoch's fight is not a fight I'd have chosen, but I bet the 'happy to see him in prison' crowd below is the same crowd that were happy for the unvaxxed to be segregated and shamed! And just look how all that lockdown, masks & mandates is looks now! Anyhow, who is next to hate?
He can only stay there max 180 days under Irish law! After that he’s out 100%
He is doing us a service fair play to him taking a stand against this rubbish. 2+2=5
100 years 🤔
No one cares what he believes miss leading headline all he has to do is stay away from the school in compliance with the direction of the court.
Thank christ someone has balls to stand up to this woke shite
Wait until he finds out, he has to find them attractive now too! The bigot!! 🙈
I don't know I think it just ridiculous it even sound strange to describe someone as they.. So if I were taking about that child to someone I have to say they... As in more than one? Doesn't sound right.
You'd have to admire his strength of character. This is the sort of courageous individual who should be a roll model to all youngsters. Unfortunately, the education system encourages and promotes weakness.
This is the resilience of the Irish ☘️ Hope he keeps it up!
Legend of a man, put the rest of the soyboys in this country to shame.Gid bless him xx
Grand so. Can we stop reporting on him? It is just giving him what he wants....
He has the right to his beliefs,how he behaved was out of order and he should face the music for that, however this he/she/cat.. whatever it is bullshit will do untold damage to the kids.. remember adults can process this from outside the box
How was this fundamentalist nutjob allowed near kids?
100 years? Eh are we sure this dude was actually home schooled?
Enoch outside Mountjoy
Grandstanding clown thinks he's a martyr. Just call the child what they want and focus on teaching the kids. I guarantee in a year he'll have a podcast and a Twitter with bots treating him like some sort of political prisoner. Do your job and keep the headlines for real issues
Contempt of court is hardly a question of beliefs. It’s, to me, an action of disrespectfullness of authority. I think Mr. Burke is telescoping his suspension into a headline grabbing stunt.
Céad Míle Fáscism! ☘️
The last thing Ireland needs is another religion telling people what they can do or say. This American religion/cult is highly destructive, imbecelic and encourages Munchausen by proxy in parents. On principles he's correct.
King.
I'd do the same thing as him. There are only two genders. The rest have psychological problems that need psychiatric help, not surgery
Well done Enoch
Remember when Ireland was a staunchly Roman Catholic country? No, neither can I.
Paedophiles walking free on suspended sentences and the liberals celebrating EnochBurke being locked up. That's all you need to know about them and their value system.
That poor young person having to endure this weirdo in a school environment. Hope they have good family and friends around them at this stressful time.
There's worse outcomes tbf
Fair play to him, he's making a point and taking a stand for what he believes in.
👍🏽 Leave him there
Fair Play 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
His belief not to say the word ‘they’ when referring to a person. Ok🙄👍
He obviously has, a very, very strong belief in continuously turning up to a school whilst expressly prohibited by court injuction pending a ruling on his extremely inappropriate conduct towards his boss. What verse in the bible is that again?
He'll leave when gullible fools donate enough money deemed acceptable to their beliefs
Fine. Stay there! Don't think this has anything to do with his religious beliefs more so his huge ego and contempt of court.
If nothing else he will be a fantastic asset to the adult literacy classes.
When in actual fact he’ll be released when the disciplinary procedure he chose to ignore is concluded. And when he is found to not engage with that procedure he’ll be fired. And which point he’ll most likely begin harassing staff and trespassing again.
Teacher’s got no money, he’s got his strong beliefs.
He’s not in prison for his beliefs. He’s in prison for breaching court orders!
Absolutely disgusting that a man is jailed for not saying a girl is a boy or vice versa.. welcome to modern Ireland where HMcEntee is dying to get a person like Enoch burke jailed for not following woke bolloxology with the new 'hate crime bill'
The mystery to me is why the school employed him in the first place.
He’s entitled to his beliefs. His beliefs don’t entitle him to breach an order of the High Court. His beliefs don’t entitle him to discriminate against a child.
Ugh, and the rest of us taxpayers have to pay for his next 100 years in mountjoy because he can’t comply with a court order. Maybe a decent stay in there will change his mind about that compliance
It’s hard not to suspect that there won’t be a revenue stream expected from the evangelical right in the US.
His belief that he should be allowed near a school’s children despite a court order to stay away from them
'Enoch Burke' has there ever been a more tory name
Jolly good, leave him there
Stick Kevin McAleer in the cell with him for a night. Sorted.
OK?
Ah lad... I'm not having this so will pray for a quick release and won't stop going on about it after if my 📿prayers do the job. Can't be doing that. Not on littleprotestants
Fair play to him. No one will ever convince me that there’s more than 2 genders no matter how much shite they throw
That's foolish. Purging his contempt will not compromise his beliefs. He is here because he defied a court order. He is conflating the two issues. He can achieve absolutely nothing from where he is. He might be surprised with his support outside for his stance on forced policies.
Be some shock if his cell mate was a poly-Willy-wonky sexual who identifies as they 🤣
Some balls this lad
Grand. Good to get him off the streets.
Totally milking it. He doesn't need to compromise his beliefs. He just needs to agree to not attend the school while he's on suspension. The guy's a dose.
This wouldn’t happen in Ireland if he was a Muslim teacher, Islamic beliefs get special status, exemption and sympathy from the usual hypocrites.
Not a fan of the Burkes or religion for that matter, but fair play to him on this.
Creepy weirdo.
😂 This lad must have been a nightmare of a teacher
That's his choice. 💁♀️
Good for him, altho i dont envy his position. This nonsesnse has taken hold in various states over seas and they are now basket cases over there. This has absolutely nothing to do with 'Being kind' or respect is a madness that is taking hold everywhere
Get comfy so.
Enoch Burkes pronouns are Jail Bird The irony! Lol
Willing to stay for the next hundred years? How miserable must your life be outside if you'd prefer stay locked up.
No wonder Ireland is turing into a crime shithole. Wating garda resources on this crap.
Enjoy the remainder of your days in prison then arsewipe - you’re not being asked to compromise your beliefs you’re being asked to comply with a court order whilst a school carries out its disciplinary procedure for abusive & disruptive behaviour
Good man
I suspect if Burke lived in the US, he'd be a Trump MAGA supporter.
Zealots lose all perspective. No doubt he sees himself as some glorious saviour.
