  1. Jesus they all must want a break from the mother.

  2. The rest of them need to get stuck in if they want to all spend Christmas together

  3. I assume this is somehow the woke liberals fault?

  4. We should have a game of Burke Bingo.

    A Burke gets arrested? ✅

    A Burke delivers an unwarranted religious speech in the middle of the street? ✅

    A Burke refuses to leave the grounds of a school? ✅

    A Burke gets dragged out of a courtroom by a heap of Gardai? ✅

    A fun filled game for all the family this Christmas!

  5. This is going to be an interesting Louis Theroux documentary when any of them wake up and leave the cult.

  6. Extracted for emphasis:

    >He jailed Mr Burke for two months but suspended this if he agreed to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for 12 months.
    However, Sean Burke declined and, as a result, he has been imprisoned for the two months.

    JFC. These people *want* to be martyrs and it’s entirely likely they’re provoking and intimidating our institutions out of their religious extremism; they are choosing to be obstructionist and defy the baseline social contract the rest of us live by. We now have *two* Burkes taking up space in an already vastly over-capacity Prison Service.

    I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do with family & individuals who are wilfully ignoring every single reasonable ask to step down from their sense of religious entitlement.

  7. They’ve turned into a family of career criminals it seems.

  8. He was on main street in Castlebar on Saturday just gone, talking through a mic and speaker about God etc, him and 3 sons I think they were. Loopers

  9. They’re a bunch of unemployable gobshites. I’d not be surprised if they are just looking for room and board at this stage.

  10. Naming their child Enoch was the first red flag for that family y

  11. Its really not fair on the other prisoners that there will be double the amount of burkes to put up with now

  12. I can’t wait for the movie……”In The Name of My Son”

    Barry Keoghan as Enoch Burke, Daniel Day Lewis as Sean Burke…………co staring Brendan O’Carroll as Martina (D’Mammy) Burke

  13. *”Deputy head of the Burke Crime family jailed for two months.”*

  14. Believe it or not, I actually attended university (in Galway) during when one of the sons of this family did too – though I can’t remember precisely what his name was.

    And unsurprisingly, he campaigned for student union president under a conservative agenda with the mindset of “Stop the persecution of Christians” or something like that.

    When it came to voting, I chose him as the dead last candidate in order of preference so I’m guessing he didn’t do too well.

  15. We’re gonna need an entire new wing in Mountjoy just for the Burkes

  16. We need to grab a few lions and reopen the Coliseum for these inbred cunts.

  17. Could we not just put they/them in a chain gang ? Pick up some litter & dog shit

  18. And there I was just yesterday in the car realising that we hadn’t heard from these folks in a while…

  19. We all like to joke around about these nutcases, but the amount of court, Garda etc resources they’re taking up must be astronomical if you tot it all up, so the joke’s very much on us, unfortunately.

  20. The family that keeps giving..truly gifting their lives to police and jurisdiction

  21. This case raises an important clash of human rights. Not about trans or religious rights, more that solitary confinement is cruel, but so is subjecting the other prisoners to not holding the Burkes in solitary.

  22. “It was because of his religious beliefs”
    Some absolute gowl no doubt.

  23. No more holding hands for Enoch in the jail yard

  24. One more and they should be able to make a decent Mountjoy nativity scene for a Christmas card

  25. A few more cases this week and they could all be together for Christmas. A whole new meaning to the season of Joy.

  26. God, being stuck in prison at Christmas must be rough. Stuck in prison at Christmas with not one, but TWO Burkes? Jaze, I’d be on suicide watch.

    Are they the kind of Protestants who are okay with carols, or the kind that aren’t? Because one of those would be a *lot* more annoying in prison.

  27. Will the defenders of enoch now defend sean, who assaulted a Garda…. A female.

  28. Good. They are entitled to believe their own ideas but they also have to behave within the very laws that they also wish others to obey. They are all religious extremists that think they are above the law – but want it on their side only for their positions. Hypocrites, the lot of them.

    If the son just obeyed a court ruling, not to be an asshole by turning up at a school, then none of this crap would have occurred. He would still have been able to have his beliefs and even campaign for them, without the asshole behaviour attachment.

  29. Wouldn’t take a suspended sentence, typical extremist. Should not be an option where a guard is assaulted and scumbag pleads not guilty

  30. Why don’t we appoint Enoch as our new ambassador to Israel? His mammy could be his deputy.

  31. A suspended sentence for assaulting a female Garda?!!

    In the week another Garda was put into hospital in critical condition?

    Some message being sent to the public here
