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

A few wayward sprinklers that reach across the road. A bin full of dog shite… whatever it took I’d be doing it 😂

I’d say he’d make a decent online tutor to be fair 👍 I’d sign mine up for it for videos but not in person 😂

Oops sorry, I’m in the uk and tomorrow is a holiday here. Apologies

That's great thinking! They could put up sadly admonitory posters regretting that they cannot employ him but encouraging him to go and do something useful with his life, just so he doesn't forget why he is there, beyond stubbornness.

They could of course gaslight him by moving the shelter an inch further away from the gates every day...

Actions like that might be considered assault.

I've a query for those who know the school. Is standing outside of the gate actually standing on the school's property? Could standing outside of the property be considered to be standing in a public place?

The property line to the middle of the road doesn't stop the road being a public place.

I'm far from a supporter of Burke but I don't think anybody needs to have 'legitimate business' there to stand in a public place.

Personally I think his actions are very foolish in the extreme (and I'm being very nice to him in describing his actions in that way).

Folios will always show the boundary out to the middle of a public road, it's the same with privately owned homes.

Maybe Enoch will take to standing in the middle of the road if the school manage to have him legally barred? 😂

I’d be happy for my taxes to house him in mount joy indefinitely, I know the judge released him as a waste of resources and I’m sure there more worthy recipients of a cell but I’ve no issue with paying my share.

A nice deep pothole would do 👍😂

I'm not stating it's fine. I'm stating that it may not be illegal if he's standing in a public place. And if he's not doing anything illegal (and that's a big 'if') then there's very little the authorities can do about it.

Kind of like how you mightn't like a 90 year old riding an 18 year old. You mightn't like it or think that it's right, but it's legal so there's sweet FA the authorities can do about it.

Looking at that legislation, I suppose as long as he isn't trespassing then his reasonable excuse is that he's there to protest.

To fall foul of that law firstly he'd need to be trespassing. We haven't established if standing outside of the gate is trespassing. It's possible it could be considered a public place so therefore it probably wouldn't be considered trespassing if that's the case. I just simply don't know if he is trespassing or not. I'd assume if he was trespassing by standing outside of the gate, the school would have instructed the Gardai to remove him before now but they have never done so.

And secondly, I'd also argue that, while he is a plonker, he probably isn't actually causing or likely to cause fear in another person. T'wud be a sensitive soul that he would cause fear in while he's just standing there like a gobshyte wasting his time. I know he caused fear when he caused a commotion at the school function and possibly when he entered the school, and possibly at the disciplinary hearing (WHERE IS JOHN ROGERS), but what he's doing now isn't likely to cause fear in another person. That said, he might be causing fear in someone so I can't say for definite if he's causing or likely to cause fear in another person but it's not a given that he is.
