Ruth Coppinger tweeted the other day about the amount of deference being shown to Enoch Burke and his family in the High Court. Burke was physically removed by the Gardai from the court last week, and this was the second time he had shown up unannounced and unlisted in the High Court in a matter… Continue reading Is Ruth Coppinger right?
