Enoch Burke will be back in the High Court soon and will be asked if he is willing to undertake to abide by the High Court order regarding him trespassing on the school grounds of Wilson’s Hospital School. Sooner or later, he will have to give that undertaking or he will be depending on the… Continue reading Enoch Burke back in the High Court soon

Reinstating Enoch Burke
A commenter on my YouTube channel left a comment in which he set out what he believed would be a sensible solution to bring the Enoch Burke/Wilson’s Hospital School dispute to an end. He said the school should reinstate the former employee in his teaching post. It is hard to believe that anyone with even… Continue reading Reinstating Enoch Burke
“Our first gay or sodomite Taoiseach”
It was remarkable to hear Enoch Burke’s mother rail against “our first gay or sodomite Taoiseach” and our “socialist President” yesterday at Wilson’s Hospital School. It is hard to believe it is 2024. I can remember the decriminalisation of homosexuality when I was a young man, in June 1993. Little did I believe I would… Continue reading “Our first gay or sodomite Taoiseach”
The paucity of Enoch Burke’s argument
I saw a video yesterday on X in which Enoch Burke explained to the interviewer that when a person goes to court they should be given their rights. And because this did not happen in his case the courts got it wrong and the dispute with Wilson’s Hospital school continues. The paucity of this argument… Continue reading The paucity of Enoch Burke’s argument
Enoch Burke cuts a pathetic figure
Enoch Burke cuts a pathetic figure standing in the rain outside his former workplace at the start of the school year. He was dismissed from Wilson’s Hospital School and has not taught there for 2 years or more. Why he is standing outside it from Thursday of this week is beyond me. On Friday, it… Continue reading Enoch Burke cuts a pathetic figure
The Burkes’ legal costs
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. So,… Continue reading The Burkes’ legal costs
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
The Kitty Holland and Enoch Burke defamation cases-what I find most interesting
There are two interesting defamation cases going on at the moment. One involves Kitty Holland, the Irish Times journalist, suing John Waters for comments he made about her coverage of the Savita Halappanavar case where Savita lost her life in University Hospital Galway. The other case is Enoch Burke’s case against the Sunday Independent over… Continue reading The Kitty Holland and Enoch Burke defamation cases-what I find most interesting
Enoch Burke’s defamation action
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. The defamation proceedings are over an article published in the Sunday Independent in 2022, when Burke was imprisoned in Mountjoy for the first time. I wonder if Burke is successful… Continue reading Enoch Burke’s defamation action
