The only person I ever heard claim this was Enoch himself. (Didn't someone give him a bag of scones?)

Never heard anyone else saying so.

Allegedly according to the new book of Enoch [21st century version]. The earlier book of Enoch was found to be apocryphal and removed from the bible.

Ezeoul · 03-09-2023 1:12pm

Apocryphal.

That's my new word for the day!

The narcissism of this guy and his family is unreal. They are not following a Christian ethos or even the non-religious code that most people accept - ‘Don’t be a dickhead’. He doesn’t care who is impacted as long he gets what he wants.

I wonder have the school tried this

School: ‘Enoch, you don’t have any classes assigned to you. No need to ‘present yourself for work’ everyday. If we assign classes to you, we’ll give you a call. That’ll save your aul lad a very bob on petrol at least.’

I’ve said before on this thread, this whole saga has ruined their chances of ever getting anywhere in the future. They could have taken a ‘slow and steady’ approach and, despite their previous notoriety, would’ve gotten jobs and positions of influence. That’ll never happen now.

This was not a well thought out plan. Once the Disciplinary Panel approve his termination and whatever High Court appeal the Burkes stage after that plays out, I can’t see what move they could possibly make.

Protest outside the school forever? Get picked up for trespass a couple of times and claim it was about ‘transgenderism’? Honestly, he should have been committed to psychiatric care when he kept turning up to school last year. If he keeps it up after all the appeals have played out, I think it’s the only place for him.

A thought occured to me - where was he living before all this kicked off? Surely he wasn't comuting with Dad every day from Castlebar even when he WAS teaching?

And why did he move back when he got fired?

I remember some reference to him either renting locally, or he may have been living in staff accommodation as WHS is a boarding school.

Probably moved home once he got out of Mountjoy.

Larbre34 · 03-09-2023 2:23pm

Said it before and will say it again; a permanent injunction against him coming within 500 metres of any gate to the school should be granted.

Then the Guards would have to detain him and keep him locked up until midnight every day.

Justice Owens said the school was entitled to a permanent injunction.

Speculation on my part, but I'm guessing his appeal against his dismissal in front of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel has to be heard first - to finally put the issue of his dismissal to rest, and then the school can apply for the permanent injunction.

It all seems a very long drawn out process. All the while, he is still on the payroll!

Enoch is looking very sultry there

No, someone gave him a bag of stones.

The prejudiced will always find someone to Other; and the crazy thing about trans is they amount to a much smaller percentage of the demographic than "the gays" of yore.., yet to hear the outcries and wailing of others they're everywhere, ready to pervert our kids. Or more hilariously, athletes will switch genders to get ahead in their careers. I've never seen so much mental energy reserved for such a small slice of society, treated like they're a threat.

I said it before and it's obvious

If anything happened such as him going berzerk or someone attacking him

Well all be saying how was he allowed to stay in the corridor

CatFromHue · 03-09-2023 3:46pm

The school are in an impossible position. If they get the Gardai involved in his trespass than he's going to end up back in prison and they won't be able to continue with the appeals process, which they have to continue paying him until it's all finished. If they do nothing he's just going to continue trespassing and that's not acceptable either.

Galwayguy35 · 03-09-2023 3:47pm

He isn't doing any harm to anyone.

No all's well ATM

But if anything happened the question will be why was he allowed in the corridor

Go stand in a building you've been sacked from and let us know how you get on, imagine being a first year wondering why there's some creepy weirdo standing in the hall every day.

kirk. · 03-09-2023 4:28pm

National school is different

It's ultra freaky showing up like that

Theres been so much sh1t like Dunblane it just shouldn't be allowed to continue

You don’t mind if I hang out outside your kids classroom, presumably?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121064417#Comment_121064417

Its a lot more weird to be hanging round outside a classroom than to be hosting an event where parents can decide if they want to bring their kids.

He is not harming anyone?

How do you think the LGBTQ students (and maybe staff) feel about his presence?

Or indeed the student that EB kicked off over? (if still attending WHS).

Sheep breeder · 03-09-2023 7:57pm

He is just showing how sad act he is doing mammys bidding and when the penny drops that he is totally unemployable in his teaching profession for the rest of his life and has no future and no life in the real world and wait till the old lady kicks the bucket.

He is a disruptive presence to all the LGBT+ kids, their friends, families, teachers and anyone - most - who are just trying to get on with their day. He's being an àsshole for no benefit except to his overinflated sense of religious martyrdom.

In any other context, a man wandering into a school uninvited and making himself comfy in the corridor, would be considered a security risk and rightly treated as one. The Burke has made himself a legal nuisance I'd probably the only reason the Guards aren't called, his àss thrown out the door.

Not sure about the scones but on this thread, at the time the whole borefest kicked off, it was a thing. Actually had one person say it to me in real life too. I've not heard of anyone since, oddly.

I remember some parents saying he was a good teacher. Now, whether or not his behaviour and remarks have changed their open or not is unknown. I'm guessing yes.
