The student council at Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath wrote a letter to teacher Enoch Burke expressing concern about the impact of his ongoing attendance at the school

In the letter, the student council listed a number of issues, saying that Mr. Burke's presence in a corridor was impacting learning and causing huge disruption.He was jailed in September after breaching a High Cout injunction directing him to stay away from the school and was released from Mountjoy Prison on 21 December.

The Council said that for many LGBTQI+ students, Mr Burke's presence in the school"is a daily reminder of the prejudices they feel". The council complained that Transition Year and Fifth Year students"feel they have no place to hang out" because of Mr Burke's presence. At the end of the letter, the council questioned Mr Burke's motivations and said if he cared for the students at the school, like he said he does, then why would he continue to cause disruption to their school life?It followed a disciplinary hearing involving Mr Burke, in relation to alleged gross misconduct at the school.

But but but I thought they should be delighted to have brave sir Enoch and his principles back?

Not allows teach because he was a bully!

Another wrong date/info or typo in an RTE news online article. This happens way to often for a journalist to be signing off on such sloppy work. Is your work not proof read twice or three times for accuracy these days before it’s published and posted.

Fair play to these students for standing up to their now ex teacher. While this man and his family were on their tirade, students were being affected and dragged into a media shitstorm including the trans student he didn't even teach. Vile man

Should of happened first day,,sack..I'm on a board of management in a school in cavan...my lips would say,,sack..in 2 seconds..absolutely, wasteing time, good school time

The wisdom, intelligence, and empathy of the students' letter stands in such contrast to the narcissistic rantings and lack of self awareness of their former teacher. They're well rid of him.

What’d he do 😂😂

What a tolerant and liberal society we have become.Or is that how we like to see ourselves. Yet when someone doesn't accept the far left woke narrative we begin to show our true colours.Intolerant, authoritarian, mob rule mentally, no room for dissension.Yes as I said so tolerant

Wokeism is the new Mc Carthyism, only is it is more pervasive and totalitarian.

It's not over till the fat gender fluid sings 😁

Mr Powell is the definition of a me feiner

Don't know of any school in a normal democracy that values childrens rights and safety that would allow him on a school premises. Poor kids. Shocking. Presume if he shows up again he will be arrested. Does he need a mental health evaluation because this is NOT Normal behaviour😡

Powerful. louistheroux please do an ep on this crazy guy and his crazy family.

Instead of reporting on the massive protests by Irish people concerned for their country and their safety you are exploiting this teacher and his family to fill the void.. shame..

This clown is getting some air time

The kids are alright.

This article explains why the school had no choice but to go down the dismissal avenue. The disruption caused by Enoch Burke to the students and staff of Wilsons Hospital is significant. Can you imagine trying to teach or learn with that behavior going on around you?

I don't see how the lack of a German teacher for first years is Mr.Burks fault.

But why students might become LGBT?

So a teacher in a school was causing disruption to learning? Of course because those 'running' the school were not allowing him to teach. Did the student council write to the school board? Lack of depth again from RTE on this.

Move on getting boring like you’re covid news…

He/Shenoch

The narcissism of this entire family is mind-blowing. Not one shit do they give for the kids and families impacted by their ego-driven mission to be right, no sense whatsoever of the common good. Bitter, small-minded, vile.

Thankfully he's sacked. His venom shouldn't be anywhere near students

Burke family says Enoch Burke formally dismissed from teaching roleHe was told of the school’s decision this afternoon. I am shocked.... lol! 😆 Unbelievable and sad There was no way they could continue employing him. I very much doubt any school would employ him after this. At his disciplinary hearing his mother, sister and brother turned up, shouting and arguing. Gardai had to be called twice. 🙄

Enoch Burke saga far from over with further appeals likely to come under public gazeUnder school disciplinary procedures Burke is entitled to appeal within 10 working days Who is paying for all this legal actions.? The amount of coverage our media are giving this story is surprising almost like they are treating the Burke family as a pantomime act for clickbait Psychological warfare to beat the teachers into line so they wilfully teach children pornography and transgender ideology. Strange how all these issues are in sync all over the west.
