Westmeath school gets temporary injunction banning a suspended teacher from it's premises

You think that security if hired would not have to have used reasonable fotce (as legally allowed) to prevent him entering the school property in breach of the injunction?

It ended up in court and to a latter extent the media because Burke insisted that it did.

i believe you're reading this incorrectly.

it seems clear that this is the judge informing burke that his comments simply weren't relevant to the hearing regarding his contempt and that their considered judgement acknowledged that he had due process available to him of which he had simply not availed.

this would all be very much in line with how a court- and certainly the WRC- would tend to view arguments being made to them if the person making them had simply not followed the process which would have been in place

@floorpie "just asking questions" is taking a similar tack to the previous posters keeping this thread alive by musing fuzzily about the ethos of the school and what amazing possibilities there were there for enoch to engineer a stunning victory.

it's all rubbish, and a refusal to acknowledge the simplicity of the timeline here and to continuously speculate about the issues that simply aren't going to arise is to my mind a clear case of wish-fulfilment trying to talk an alternative reality into existence - up until, of course, enoch either recants or is sacked after the school has a chance to follow the process.

there is simply nothing unfair or incorrect about any action taken by the school this far and any look at the respective behaviours demonstrates that the people advising and acting for the school have been scrupulously following the designated path

anyone coming up with any opinion otherwise is playing silly buggers imo

You really need to go actually read an article about the whole situation. You're making a fool of yourself due to the lack of knowledge you have on it.

It's honestly embarrassing to watch

It’s not my quote, it’s the judge’s. It seems that he sees possibilities of Mr Burke making his case on ethos and religious belief. I am not so sure but I have on the basis of the knowledge of what was said in court alerted the thread repeatedly to that possibility. I doubt he will win even if his arguments are heard. But the existence of a two track process of the guiding rules of education is what enables the argument to be made. It is past time that was ended.

Unfortunately he may get more fame. For the sake of the vulnerable student firstly but also for Mr Burke however vilified he deserves to be I hope he does not. I keep hoping for an intervention to remove this from public view entirely.

A lot of your posts come across as having low self esteem talking about elites etc, probably not the case but just the way that they read.

Also the fees aren't too far out there for boarding going by two boarding schools that I know of, that charge close to 10,000 for a day boarder, over 18,000 for a five day boarder and over 24,000 for a seven day boarder plus registration fees and other fees on top of that.

you aren't open to even the most basic relevant facts on what's happened here, thats been demonstrated over the last few pages.

it could be more easily treated as innocent except you are clearly panting to understate burke's considered and deliberate role in driving every part of this once he was told to do something he didnt like at work

frankly I've no faith that you have any interest in hearing them again, your posts today have been a litany of either incorrect statements or very pointed questions about how enoch has been so hard done by- and at every juncture people have told you your erroneous assumptions.

i don't tbh find it in any way credible that you're posting in this thread in good faith

I have explained to you how to resolve your ignorance on the subject, read literally any article
