In #Castlebar, few people want to go on the record about the #BurkeFamily.
The town's fundamentalist fugitives #MartinaBurke and #AmmiBurke are nowhere to be seen. The duo are sentenced to a fortnight of imprisonment for #ContemptOfCourt, like Ammi's brother […]

Headline from linked in The Irish Times: "Enoch Burke leaves Mountjoy Prison after High Court orders release to prepare for hearing". Strapline: "Teacher tells judge he intends to immediately return ‘for work’ at Wilson’s Hospital School upon release"
By releasing #EnochBurke now & returning him to prison when Burke again trespasses at the school, #JusticeCregan hopes to undercut Burke's inevitable claims that he couldn't prepare his case in prisom.
But Burke is a #liar who will shout "unfair" whatever […]

Screenshot of paragraphs 10 to 15 of the second judgment of Mr Justice Cregan in the case of Wilson's Hospital School vs Enoch Burke. The paragraphs read: Mr. Burke’s purging of his contempt. 10. I would like to make it crystal clear to Mr. Burke what he must do to purge his contempt and to be released from prison. 11. He must give an undertaking to the court that he will not enter on, or trespass on, the school’s property again without the school’s consent. That is all. (The issue of outstanding fines will however remain.) 12. He does not have to give any undertaking that he will follow the school principal’s direction to call a child “they” or “them”. He does not have to accept transgenderism. He does not have to stop protesting against transgenderism. He does not have to change his religious beliefs one iota. 13. The idea that Mr. Burke is being imprisoned because of his religious beliefs is nonsense. This court does not imprison people for their religious beliefs. Mr. Burke is being imprisoned because he is trespassing on other people’s property. No more. No less. 14. Any statements by Mr. Burke, or other members of his family, that he is being imprisoned because of his opposition to transgenderism are demonstrably false. 15. As I said in my first judgment, Mr. Burke has the keys to his own prison. He only has to give an undertaking that he will obey court orders – like every other citizen in the country.

Page 1 of the High Court judgment in the case of Wilson's Hospital vs Enoch Burke, 18 November 2025.
#JusticeCregan's #HighCourt judgment is an exceptionally clear summary of the history of the 3½-year #EnochBurke drama. It is written is plain English rather than legal jargon, and it is very accessible.
#Cregan opens by noting the #BurkeFamily's extreme […]
