Court orders arrest of Enoch Burke for alleged contempt

School contends teacher sat in empty class saying he was there ‘to work’ despite temporary injunction intended to prevent his attendanceAt a sitting of the High Court, Ms Justice Miriam O’Regan granted Wilson’s Hospital School an order allowing gardaí to detain teacher Enoch BurkeA judge has ordered that a teacher who objects to addressing a student with the pronoun “they” be arrested by gardaí and brought before the High Court to answer for his alleged failure to comply with a...

When the matter was called on before Ms Justice O’Regan on Friday morning Mr Burke was not present nor legally represented in court. Counsel said the school’s sole objective from bringing the proceedings is to prevent any further disruption to students at the school. Counsel said the school had not taken this action lightly and had come to court as a “last resort”.

However, when the matter was briefly mentioned before the High Court after lunch the court was told that while the gardaí had been contacted about the matter, the order had not yet been perfected. Mr Burke was placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a disciplinary process commenced by the school, where he has been employed for several years, in mid-August.

The temporary injunction is to remain in place until the matter returned before the High Court next week. It says it has acknowledged Mr Burke’s religious beliefs but expects him to communicate with the student in accordance with the student and their parents’ wishes.

Going to jail for having an opinion, Interesting

shame on the courts. the teacher also has rights.

Bloody criminal. Hope he sues the school and the state👊👊👊

A world gone mad.

Clickbate headline. His arrest had absolutely nothing to do with refusing to use 'They' pronoun. Not even relevant to the case. More woke nonsense being peddled by MSM.

Welcome to the corrupt Court system of ireland

game’s gone

The parents and the principal are virtue signallers so. Sad the way the world has gone when a teacher is being threatened with jail over woke nonsense

The sad reality to this is that there is more to this than the word they, if the mental health services and supports were in place for this man, none of this would have happened but instead the school and the press just point and bully and the courts hang him.

I can't believe i'm reading this, absolutely bananas stuff. enochholdtheline
