The Court of Appeal has reserved its judgment in Enoch Burke's challenge to court orders, including an injunction to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath

Court President Mr Justice George Birmingham said, however, that the three judges would not delay in delivering their ruling.

In his appeal, Mr Burke said he could not accept"transgenderism" due to his Christian beliefs after teachers at the school were asked to address a student by"a new name and the 'they' pronoun".The German and history teacher also confirmed to the court that the student in question did not attend his classes, but argued that all teachers had some level of interaction with all students, either in corridors or acting as a substitute teacher.

When asked by Ms Justice Maire Whelan how he imagined interacting with the student in question, Mr Burke said:"The question before the court doesn't involve that".

Enoch burke has highlited that ireland is a pinko demoratt state which needs too be culled nipped in the budd

Q: Will those persons who have a line of thought that goes against the populist narrative mantra, be now deemed FAR RIGHT or RACIST or INTOLERANT by MSM and/or contributors to Social Media, for refusing to be intimidated?

Bravo. What a top G. We live in dangerous times where freedom of speech and loss of truth/logic is rampant. We figured this out thousands of years ago in the Bible and Quran. Interpret them as you wish, but the morality of ones actions should be accounted for and judged.

Is anyone thinking about the little chikd at the centre of this. How they feel? Life is confusing enough for a teenager without this controversy too. Enoch has an obligation towards the students. If he cannot uphold that, he should have resigned. Everyone must be prof in their jb

Cannot believe despicable people like him exist in this country.

Right, I’m a Muslim teacher and my religious ‘beliefs’ include ‘girls should not be educated’. I AM NO DIFFERENT TO ENOCH We cannot regulate society based on some crackpot’s ‘beliefs’! To do so is to be ruled by religious fascism. And I for one will not do that!!

If the judge was sacked because he wouldn't acknowledge the new pronouns of the defendant wearing a similar wig to his own, with lipstick, he wouldn't like it either.

He's dead right. A mentally ill child that needs help is all I see here. This crap about pronouns needs to stop.

Is it actually possible for a school to dismiss a teacher? Enoch should have gone on strike. He could never be dismissed.

He's 100% right. Fair play to him....he has the backing of the majority of the country. We all know what's coming down the line for school children & parents!...Good on him!

There’s a list of cases the length of your arm waiting to be heard by the Court of Appeal, and they’re wasting time on this eejit.

His arguments appear logical...

He is 100% correct. No1 has the right to compel any1 to speak in a way they want. And if u believe the government should be policing speech u need ur head examined & a history lesson. 1 day there will be a government u don’t agree with & u won’t be able to express your opinions.

He's arguments are completely logical

Has he paid the bill yet or will the taxpayer have to fund this egotistical farce?
