Judge Orders Seizure Of Enoch Burke’s €40,000 Bank Balance
Enoch Burke’s bank account containing €40,000 has today been seized by the Courts. This follows the seizure by the Courts of his teaching salary last week. The Court also directed that the Attorney General may apply to seize any other assets owned by Enoch Burke.
Senior Counsel Brian Kennedy SC for the Attorney General was granted as much time as he wished to make his submissions in Court on this unprecedented matter and was not questioned in any way by the bench. By contrast, when Enoch Burke rose to speak, he was cut off after only 5 minutes by Mr Justice David Nolan, who repeatedly interrupted him. The Judge then delivered his pre-prepared ruling immediately.
Enoch Burke sought to draw attention to the fact that the root cause of this case, the principal’s direction to all staff to address a male student by a new name and the “they” pronoun, has never been assessed for its constitutionality or lawfulness by any Court, despite these proceedings being now ongoing for more than 2.5 years. When Enoch Burke read out Article 44 of the Irish Constitution, which binds the State to “respect and honour religion”, he was immediately shut down by Judge David Nolan.
