Enoch Burke’s mother, Martina Burke, has just been removed from the Court of Appeal. After the judge told her son he couldn’t grant him a hearing sooner than Feb 16, Ms Burke accused the court of being “corrupt”

1. It’s good to see the Irish mammy is still the supportive sort.

2. Looks like Enoch won’t be home for Christmas.

3. Waiting for the Netflix documentary to come out

4. [removed]

5. Why is this prick still in the news

6. It was all fun and games when he thought he would be home in a few weeks.

7. When my chipper doesn’t toss in a few free chips with my burger I accuse them of being corrupt.

8. He’d be back teaching already if he had gotten Judge Nolan.

9. Who the fuck calls their Child Enoch in the first place

10. If he doesn’t want to be there, surely he can purge his contempt of court? He’s actively choosing this because he wanted to make himself a martyr – so be a martyr, go through the court system like everyone else. This is all by choice.

    Edit: This is not a message of support – I’m saying he deserves every second he spends in there.

11. 6 months in the Joy ffs. You’ve taken it a bit far now Enoch

12. Is he there for the rest of his life if he doesn’t purge his contempt?

13. She sounds like an absolute wagon, she’s had to be removed from court several times in the past.

14. “Martina” is the new “Karen”.

15. She’s the head of the snake, wasting all our time, a menace

16. This is karma for the Burke family. They’ve been aggressively litigious and hostile to progressive views for years.

17. Bad day for all the inmates in Mountjoy

18. They sound like great craic as a family

19. Many of the beliefs and behaviours of this family are unlikeable to reprehensible for me. The utter madness of their carry-on kinda makes me pity them too though.

    They’re bright people, but so brainwashed that they’re going out of their way to ruin their own lives (never mind the people their bullying/conspiracy theories harm as well). It’s sad.

20. Jesus, imagine living next door to that family.

21. he didn’t lick it up off the ground anyway

22. Stop giving these sad sacks attention and he’ll change is tune of martyrdom quick enough.

23. They’re all lawyers but then don’t seem to know what not to say in court.

24. They’re such utter melts the lot of them

25. She has that ‘we are not the type to have a son in jail’, aditude.

    Maybe she will get sent to Dóchas Centre to calm herself.

26. A series of tweets from this chap were better entertainment than Fair City, not that that would be hard, in fairness.

27. Do you think he was expecting to be let out before now. Its it a Mexican stand off. I’m not saying sorry ….. but back down and let me out….
    nobody told the courts and they are waiting for him to fold.

28. Ultimate Irish Mammy

29. Enoch’s entirely voluntary incarceration continues so.

30. Doesn’t he just have to purge his contempt to be released? People are such martyrs to their own ignorance.

31. He can stay in there permanently until he makes a full apology and offers redress to the school and the child. Sick of these bastards thinking they can treat others this way.

32. The image on the post is exactly my feeling after reading this 😅😅😅😅

33. Please starve them of attention.

    Don’t post about them, talk about them, report in the newspaper about them.

    When a toddler has a big tantrum. The more attention you give it, the longer and louder the tantrum goes on.

34. Massive support outside Mountjoy at lunch time . I don’t know why the guards arent controlling the crowd.. of 4…

35. Feckin eejits

36. all together now… ‘oh ah up the ‘RA, ooh ah up the ‘RA’

37. “ha, lol”

38. Poor ol Eunoch Burke

39. They are trying so hard to become main item news. Queen Lizzie dying really killed interest in this.

40. Can we start selling tickets to see this gobshite in his cell. Would solve the debt overnight.

41. Enoch is Enoch

42. As a completely unrelated Burke, this guy makes us look bad?

43. This is what happens when you don’t go drinking at 15 with your peers

44. Surely, at this stage, Enoch is Enoch.

45. Feel for people who are trans, having to constantly hear about this looney and some do use his situation and see him as a martyr nearly
