The question of who pays the legal costs incurred in the various legal cases involving members of the Burke family is raised repeatedly online. In the civil cases involving Enoch Burke (versus Wilson’s Hospital School and Sunday Independent/Mediahuis) and Ammi Burke (versus WRC and Arthur Cox Solicitors) Enoch Burke and Ammi Burke represented themselves.

What Enoch Burke supporters cannot understand about his defamation failure
Many Enoch Burke supporters, and others, cannot understand how or why he has lost his defamation case against the Sunday Independent if what they published was untrue. And it was untrue. The publisher accepted this, amended the record, and apologised. But the Judge explained that you need more than merely the publication of an untrue… Continue reading What Enoch Burke supporters cannot understand about his defamation failure
Peter Casey’s Presidential Pardon for Enoch Burke
It’s disappointing to see that Peter Casey fellow engaging in far right, populism to try to make himself relevant in the upcoming elections. I think he is running for the European Parliament but I would be satisfied that he is an attention seeking irrelevancy, so I have not bothered to look into it deeply. The… Continue reading Peter Casey’s Presidential Pardon for Enoch Burke

There are two interesting defamation cases going on at the moment.

I read yesterday in the Irish Times that Enoch Burke’s defamation action against Mediahuis Ireland is to be heard next week in the High Court.

I wonder if Burke is successful… Continue reading Enoch Burke’s defamation action

The Burkes’ first court appearance of the year
I read a very funny piece in the newspaper (online) this morning by Miriam Lord. It was a description of the first appearance of the year of the Burkes of Castlebar. The appearance was a virtual one by video link from the Ashling Hotel in Dublin 8 as the Burkes were only going to be… Continue reading The Burkes’ first court appearance of the year
The Burkes and Alan Dillon TD at Tesco, Castlebar on Christmas Eve
The treatment meted out by some of the Burkes of Castlebar on Alan Dillon TD at the Tesco shop in Castlebar on Christmas Eve was an attack on our democracy. Imagine going to your local shop on Christmas Eve to pick up something that was perhaps overlooked and to be beset by a group of… Continue reading The Burkes and Alan Dillon TD at Tesco, Castlebar on Christmas Eve

The hatred and bitterness of the comments on my Enoch Burke jailing video
The hatred and bitterness in some of the comments on my latest video about the jailing of Enoch Burke is something to behold. These comments can be read on my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. The vast majority of these comments are by followers/supporters of Burke. The bitterness is only matched by an inability… Continue reading The hatred and bitterness of the comments on my Enoch Burke jailing video
