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

If he is fired, shows up and is arrested on criminal trespass. He will be bailed until the case is up with certain conditions.

No more contempt. It will be violation of Bail, amongst potentially further charges.

We are firmly away from Civil law and deep into the criminal at that stage.

To all the people getting upset over Enoch Burke not complying with "preferred pronouns," all I've got to type is **** you and no wonder this country is going to **** because you degenerates are partly responsible for the dumbing down of Irish education. I don't agree with Burke's religious beliefs or what he has stood for in the past but I will defend him in this situation because some of you little narcissists will organise your rallies with your bright coloured hair, wearing second-hand clothes and complain that no one in the country recognises your existence; Then you will whine in your pathetic speeches about what a struggle it is to not have a non-human marker on your passport; *Cue the violin playing.* before appropriating the struggle of racism and homophobia and comparing it to your own because let's face it you don't really have any real struggles to begin with, apart from you being privileged and trying to score points in the Oppression Olympics. It must be hard to be white and bourgeois and be jealous of the real hardship minorities face. It's really the equivalent of a bunch of babies throwing their toys out of the pram because they can't get their own way only in this era, universities, institutions and big pharma will take you seriously because there's money to be made off your stupidity.

Tell me how you really feel....

Maybe the Burkes should take Buffalo Bill's stance, and adopt 'it' as their preferred pronoun. Problem solved.

Oh.

That will go back to court.

Just surmising but the monetary penalty for this could be astronomical if they dismiss him and get it wrong. He's unlikely to be able to get a job in another school, ever and that will be a core part of any claim he makes. Loss of career earnings + pension for what's left of his working life will be quite substantial.

Unfair dismissal compensation is generally capped at two years. I suspect they would gladly pay that if they had to, to make this go away. Barraister/legal work must have cost more than that at this stage.

Based on the what's been reported, it doesn't sound like there's enough there for the school to sack him straight off the bat - I presume this disciplinary hearing is based on the initial issue where he confronted/abused the principal, etc. As such, he'd expect maybe a written warning or something? Especially when the high court effectively ruled that the disiplinary process hadn't been followed correctly.

I'd have thought that everything that came afterwards (or is still to come) would need to be part of a fresh disciplinary hearing. That said, you'd imagine that the school has received legal advice so that everything is being followed to the letter and they'll get him out sooner rather than later

If he does manage to convince one of the courts opened to him that he was unfairly dismissed if that is what indeed happens, awards of this nature are capped. No such thing as getting career earnings + pension.

Also it is completely up to him to source alternative employment, the courts are fully entitled to take account his actions and how this may have limited future employment opportunities.

Also I am pretty sure by the end of all this he will actually have a criminal record which will make Garda vetting a challenge for any new school to take him on.

There can hardly be any expectation that his employment will continue in the school, he will never agree to school policy in relation to transgenderism.

I could be wrong but Ammi was given a payoff equivalent to two years pay by the solicitors firm in Dublin, and dismissed. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the school take the same approach and bring this to an end. He can go to the WRC like Ammi did and try and get reinstated, but it is highly likely that the WRC hearing would go the same way with the family disrupting it.

It’s a sad end to his career, but it will be wholly deserved.

I know, the poster you replied posed the question what happens if he is dismissed.

Also as far as I aware, the school want to move on from incarceration to asset stripping, with the judgement from that due in the next week or so.

If they sack him, would there be a need to go forward with the asset charge? Wasn’t that to do with his continued refusal to abide by the terms of the injunction? If his employment is terminated, surely it would be the simpler charge of trespass and the Gardai have powers of arrest if he refuses to comply with an order to leave.

The High Court ruled earlier in the week though that he had sufficient case to postpone the disciplinary hearing so I don't know what makes you "absolutely confident". I think the school needs to tread carefully unless they have the cash to make the payout
