Covering the Wilson’s Hospital v Enoch Burke case on my YouTube channel

I did not intend making a video for my YouTube channel about each day of the four-day hearing in the High Court between Wilson’s Hospital School and Enoch Burke. But the video I published yesterday covering day 1 of the hearing generated 1100 views and 102 comments in 24 hours. So, I will do another… Continue reading Covering the Wilson’s Hospital v Enoch Burke case on my YouTube channel

Wilson’s Hospital School and Enoch Burke-the substantive issue to be determined by the High Court

The Wilson’s Hospital School and Enoch Burke case opened yesterday in the High Court. It would be easy to think that this was just one more court case or action between Mr Burke and the school at which he was a teacher. But that is not the case at all. This is the substantive case,… Continue reading Wilson’s Hospital School and Enoch Burke-the substantive issue to be determined by the High Court

Enoch Burke’s written request to the Court of Appeal is mind boggling

I find it hard to believe. But Orla O’Donnell, the RTE courts reporter, has reported it so I believe it to be true.

For any… Continue reading Career advice: become an advice giver and sell expert services

There are more men coming forward to tell their sad story of alleged abuse. Cremin managed the Carmelite… Continue reading Fr Cremin, Carmelite College, Moate and more allegations of child abuse

The Admiralty law pseudo legal conspiracy theory nonsense

A commenter left a comment on my YouTube channel containing some advice for Ammi Burke and Enoch Burke in their legal challenges. He suggested that if they were familiar with Admiralty law they could easily resolve their legal difficulties. I have seen this Admiralty law nonsense mentioned more than once online so I thought I… Continue reading The Admiralty law pseudo legal conspiracy theory nonsense

Why you should read the decision of Ms Justice Máire Whelan in the Enoch Burke Court of Appeal case

I wish people would actually read the decision of Ms Justice Máire Whelan in the Court of Appeal case of Wilson’s Hospital School v Enoch Burke. I think a small number would benefit. I say a “small number” because opinions are so strongly held and entrenched by many people that no amount of reading of… Continue reading Why you should read the decision of Ms Justice Máire Whelan in the Enoch Burke Court of Appeal case

Is it a futile hope that people will read the actual decisions in the Enoch Burke Court of Appeal case?

I published a video this week about the Court of Appeal’s rejection of the Enoch Burke appeal of certain High Court orders made against him. (Here it is). Rather than making the video a straightforward opinion piece about my view of the decision I took a close look at the decision of the president of… Continue reading Is it a futile hope that people will read the actual decisions in the Enoch Burke Court of Appeal case?
