BREAKING: High Court Judge blocks Enoch Burke’s family from courtroom.
Teacher Enoch Burke’s mother Martina and siblings Isaac and Ammi have stood by his side since May 2022 when the Principal of Wilson’s Hospital School demanded he use the “they” pronoun for a child in the school.
Enoch Burke refused and was subsequently suspended in a flagrant breach of his constitutional rights to freedom of religion and freedom of conscience.
Today he was forced to dial in by video link from Mountjoy Prison instead of attending in person a hearing before High Court Judge Brian Cregan.
Before proceedings even began, and before anyone had spoken, Judge Cregan ordered Martina Burke, Isaac Burke and Ammi Burke to leave the room.
The Burke family remained seated and reminded the Judge of their constitutional right to be present. Judge Cregan then rose, ordered the Gardaí to forcibly remove the Burkes, and left the courtroom. Open justice is a fundamental aspect of any functioning democracy. These are dark days in Irish courts.
Judge Cregan then re-entered the courtroom and doubled down on his slander against Enoch Burke. The Judge restated that Enoch Burke was a “baleful and malign” presence in the school, “roaming” around the corridors of the school and “stalking the school, its teachers and pupils.” All of these statements are utterly false.
Judge Cregan also reaffirmed that the pupils and teachers in the school had sworn affidavits against Enoch Burke. This is a blatant lie.
Judge Brian Cregan has shown himself to be devoid of credibility.
Three weeks ago Judge Cregan directed the Attorney General to bring criminal contempt proceedings against members of the Burke family. Judge Cregan had no right to do this, as the Judiciary and the Executive are separate powers.
Last week, lawyers for the Attorney General appeared before Judge Cregan requesting that this direction would be withdrawn. They stated that it was inappropriate and wrong in law for Judge Cregan to instruct the Attorney General as to what to do in this regard.
The direction was then withdrawn by the judge and changed to a request to “consider” bringing proceedings.
Judge Cregan also continues to instruct Rosemary Mallon BL in these proceedings, despite the fact that her instructions should only be coming from her client, Wilson’s Hospital School. Rosemary Mallon willingly receives those instructions from the judge.
Corrupt judges can disregard the Constitution and seek to strip upright citizens of their rights, but they will never succeed in removing God’s truth from society.
Scripture says: “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh” (Psalm 2:4). Truth will prevail.

N.B. @CBNNews:
A teacher in Ireland is back in court fighting for his right to follow his religious beliefs, and a judge is now vowing to keep him in jail through Christmas.
Enoch Burke says he was fired from his position at Wilson's Hospital School in 2022 after Principal Niamh McShane demanded he use the "they/them" pronoun for a male student. Burke says he refused, was subsequently suspended, and later dismissed.
Burke has fought the decision not only in court, citing that it violated his constitutional rights and religious beliefs, but he has, on several occasions, attempted to return to the school grounds to teach.
