okay i just want to update you on the enoch brook the school teacher situation the school teacher
from wilson's hospital school in multifarnum was jailed by the high court for contempt of court
breaching a court order um i've made another video about that you can have a look at it
this is an update this is wednesday the 7th of september i think he was jailed a couple of days
ago there and led away from the four courts to mount joy prison the school applied then
today to have the temporary injunction there was already a temporary injunction granted
a week ago but they applied today in the high court to have that made permanent until the
disciplinary process in the school is concluded mr burke mr enoch burke opposed the application
he could be released from prison today he could have been released from prison today if he purged
his contempt by given an undertaking to comply with the injunction and stay away from the school
pending the outcome of the disciplinary on monday he said it would be impossible for him to comply
so he was led into the high court in handcuffs today by prison officers for the resumption of the
resumption of the injunction application by the school where he works wilson's hospital in county
west mead the barrister for the legal team for the hospital rosemary mallon who's a barrister i think
she's a senior counsel she said this was not about mr burke's beliefs but about his alleged conduct
the principal had expressed serious concerns about how he might act in the school in the future
barrister rose mcmahon also said the court was or said the case was in court
because enoch burke was a teacher who ignored the nature and effect of the lawful decision of the
school's board of management to suspend him on pay pending the outcome of the disciplinary process
lawyers for the hospital or for wilson's hospital school
told the court there was an attempt by mr burke to say that this case
was about his refusal to call a boy a girl they said this case was not about transgenderism
mr burke said the choice the court had presented to him
was that he could be a christian in mount joy or a pagan respecter of transgenderism outsiders
and in that case i know where i belong so he chose not to purge his contempt
enoch burke responded i will never leave mount joy prison if in leaving that prison i must violate
my well-informed conscience and my religious beliefs and deny my god high court granted a
further injunction to wilson's hospital school preventing teacher enoch work from attending or
attempting to teach mr burke is to be returned to prison until he purges his contempt he says
he'd love to obey the court but he cannot so he's to remain in mount joy for at least another week
that's the latest on enoch burke the wilson's hospital school teacher who is
now in mount joy is continues to be in mount joy prison there was a disciplinary process
commenced in the school with allegations about his conduct and so on and so forth
obviously the disciplinary process probably won't be able to go ahead or be concluded perhaps
when he's in prison clearly you know in the interest of fair procedures and natural justice
any disciplinary process would have to have input from the person against whom allegations are made
so i don't know what the school quite frankly is going to do in terms of the disciplinary
but they'll probably just adjourn whatever hearing they may have had lined up for next week because
mr burke won't be in attendance clearly he'll be in montjuic he will be given another opportunity i
presume in a week's time to purge his contempt but his position is very much he's not going to do so
he says he'll never leave mount joy prison if in leaving that prison i must violate my
well-informed conscience my religious beliefs and deny my god the school on the other hand and the
school's legal team says this is not about boys and girls or transgenderism the school
says this is about conduct and says it's about a disciplinary process in the school which every
employer is entitled to carry out and that they have simply suspended him on full pay pending the
outcome of the disciplinary process so that's where we're at that's the update he goes back
to prison back to mount joy today is wednesday the 7th of september and mr burke is returning
to mount joy and will not produce contempt not today anyway hope you find this video useful
informative etc etc i know this is a case that has excited quite a lot of uh comment and emotions
and so on and so forth but i'm just keeping you updated as it were as to what's going on
