Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121109563#Comment_121109563

He has been sacked.

Enoch Burke formally dismissed by Wilson's Hospital School

EB was formally dismissed on 20 January this year. WHS agreed to keep paying him (they are a private school), most likely on legal advise, pending the outcome of the three person independent Disciplinary Appeal Panel hearing which was originally scheduled for 21st April. They didn't have to keep paying him.

The only reason the DAP didn't proceed on its original scheduled date in April was because of a delay in Justice Owens delivering his ruling after the full trial back in March. Then in July EB raised an objection to the appointment of Mr Kieran Christie, the General Secretary of the ASTI, to the DAP as he claimed Mr Christie "promotes transgenderism". Justice Dignam's ruling on that has yet to be delivered.

It's the department of education that pays him. Even for private schools.

Yes, like I said he was successful in halting his own appeal.

The high court have placed a temporary stay on it.

Are they withholding his salary to cover the fines?

And if not , why not??

Especially considering his behaviour around the whole issue since his suspension- I couldn’t even see the WRC supporting him given his antics - there’s quite likely some procedural issues that weren’t eyed and dotted correctly but given the wider picture I think even the WRC will excuse those

His salary comes direct from the department.

Leg End Reject

What's next, will posters here claim the UN will take on his case? 🤣

I've no idea.

I don't know if DOE is still paying him since his formal dismissal, or if he is salary has being covered by WHS since then. Whomever is paying it, you can be sure it was on foot of legal advice, so as not to give him anything else to try and use as leverage. He accused the High Court of punishing him for his religious beliefs and trying to make a pauper of him by imposing fines on him for contempt of court.

Might be a good PQ for the Minister for Education.

Actually they are no longer a fee paying school.

Wilson's Hospital School stopped charging fees for tuition in 2011 and moved from being a private, fee-paying school to being a voluntary secondary (public) school in the free education system.

So yeah DOE are still paying him, I imagine this would be standard on foot of an appeal.

Remember not all appeals agree with the BOM.

Also the BOM are not obliged to follow the direction of the appeals panel.

Life is too short to watch that. I got 5 seconds into his last video on the Indo. ‘I think it’s disgraceful..’ Luckily I copped myself on and closed the page.

Edit: curiousity got the better of me. Manages a minute. Joaiah could’ve done with a script. He said the date and Mountjoy about 10 times in that minute.

This is the kind of lunacy being posted in response.

Hopefully if he is still in receipt of pay from either WHS or the Dept pending the outcome of all legal appeals he started into the way he was treated by WHS and then dismissed, the funds are being lodged into a secure account he cannot access until the legality of the sacking process is decided upon beyond any appeal by him.

If it's decided he was improperly sacked, then provide him the correct sum of money from that account in recompense. If all procedures were followed properly in sacking him, then return the account monies to the Dept or WHS whichever put the monies into the account.

Sequester all monies and property he owns to recompense those who have suffered from his unlawful activities. If he continues those activities after that date, arrest and prosecute him at district or circuit court level for trial by a jury of his peers. The DOJ can secure him away from contact with ODC's or other convicted inmates.

I think that most people debating his activities here will have used their thought processes and not his in figuring out who has behaved responsibly in all his dealings with others at WHS and Court levels.

Usually what happens is these far right telegram and other groups are weaponised in a way that the members are given instructions to post comments under whatever twitter article. You can be sure most of those who made comments were directed there by some far right types. I've seen them directed to post on boards threads too. It's a small group of weirdos basically. Always the same people.

You missed a bit.

Fee Structure (2023/24)

Wilson's Hospital School stopped charging fees for tuition in 2011 and moved from being a private, fee-paying school to being a voluntary secondary (public) school in the free education system. This has substantially broadened access to our school, and we are very proud of this. Very competitive fees do still apply to students who wish to board and to day students who wish to avail of extra services, outlined below.

They do still charge fees. Their fee structure is on their website, if you care to look beyond the first line.

I think it could be inferred though. His behaviour towards the school head followed her new ruling on the transgender name issue. Until that he had no issues with the head teacher. The way he went about was mad but still directly as a result of the new instruction towards the transgender child's name.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121110481#Comment_121110481

The fees and what they are for are listed on the website at the link provided above. I didn't want to bother listing them out.

The fact is, while WHS may not charge for tuition, it does have fee paying students.

The problem with all this is that there is a process to follow an EB(Enoch Burke) didn't follow it. If you have a disagreement with your boss you don't go shouting at them in public. For all EBs talk about transgenderism at no point has he actually raised a formal dispute about it. Shouting at your boss in public and publicly harassing them isn't the way you go about raising a formal dispute.

EB will try to litigate this as much as possible but the problem is that from day 1 EB has never actually engaged in the avenues available to him. For some reason he and his family believe for some reason the rules and laws of society don't apply to them. Those laws only appear to apply to other people for some reason. That's why he has ended up in jail and its why he is facing a gigantic legal bill when all this is over.

The sad fact is that if he had actually followed the proper procedures he would definitely be not in jail and would definitely have been far more successful in a relative sense at least (even if he would probably be unsuccessful at the end of it).

Yes indeed and I agree entirely but he was badly advised by mammy and should have engaged a competent solicitor.

You claimed WHS isn't a fee paying school. It is.

Maybe not all students are fee paying, but WHS is still a fee paying school.

As you've just proven yourself by posting up the list of fees.

Ah you are just being silly now.

You claimed.

(they are a private school)

Again this isn't my opinion.

They charge fees like every other single school in the country that provide extra services.

Just accept you are wrong and move on.

By your logic, so is every school that charges students for lunch or tea or photocopy paper or after school activities.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121110732#Comment_121110732

Likewise.

For someone who joined the thread a few pages ago, clearly very un-informed, you have a very high opinion of your own opinion.

A school can have both private fee paying students, and public non-fee paying students. I also went to a school like that.

You have a nice evening, now.

It's a fact, something you are badly struggling with.

Also I "joined this thread" long before you signed up as a member of this site. 😂

The high court (or I believe the school through the court) has to apply for an order to garnish Burkes salary in order to collect monies due.

I’m assuming the court can do the same for collecting their fines.

In school terms, it is not a fee paying school.

That fees list is a list of optional extras. You do not need to pay 1600 for food, after school study and matron services if you don't want to.

Dancing on the head of a pin about the fact they have optional extras does not make it a fee paying school.

There are feck all fee paying schools left as the amount the state would pay for their teachers was changed in the 2011-16 Goverment.

I suspect that if you paid for the after school study, a years worth of lunches, the voluntary contribution and whatever they look for from sports team players parents in the VEC I went to you'd not have change from a grand so the 1600 isn't even that mad.

Seperately, those boarding fees make me wonder how the feck my mothers family sent most of their kids to boarding school - they weren't wealthy. Presumably they've increased significant ahead of inflation in the past half a century.

Infer what you like. It has no relevance to his legal situation. The high court judge who jailed him for contempt was very clear on that.
