News about Sean Burke

Three years ago, Enoch Burke (left) was an otherwise ordinary history teacher from the sleepy Irish town of Castlebar. However, the ex-teacher (bottom inset) has found himself in the centre of Ireland's trans rights row, which began when he refused to refer to a transgender student's pronouns while working at Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath. This decision sparked a series of events which has led to Enoch spending over 400 days in Mountjoy prison - after he repeatedly showed up to his former school following his dismissal and telling staff he was there to do his job. Enoch's parents Shaun and Martina (top inset) and his nine siblings have vehemently supported him throughout the process - accusing the school of 'bowing to the alter of transgenderism' and facing legal woes of their own in the process. In June, the Irish High Court ordered Enoch's release from prison, which was partially due to the end of exam season and imminent school holidays. However, the former teacher (top right) was jailed for a third time yesterday after he violated his court order by stepping foot on school grounds again. Before he was bundled into the back of a Gardaí van, Enoch was filmed telling officers that he was 'not going to turn his back on his duty' to his students while his mother argued the school supporting transgender students was 'abusive'. Here FEMAIL delves into the trans rights row that has divided Ireland and shows no sign of resolution any time soon. Bottom right: Enoch's sister Ammi pictured being removed from a Court of Appeal hearing in March 2023.

Enoch Burke (left) has been at the centre of a trans right row in Ireland for over two years now - but he's not the only member of his family facing endless legal woes. In May 2022, the former history teacher told the headteacher at his school in County Westmeath that his Evangelical Christian beliefs meant he 'opposed transgenderism' and later criticised his boss' 'demand' to use the child's new name in front of staff and students. It sparked a chain of events that has led to him being jailed for repeatedly showing up at Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath after being sacked, and entering the staff room saying he was there to do his job. Enoch has spent over 300 days in Mountjoy Prison in Dublin and has no prospect of release because he refuses to comply with a court order to stay away from the school premises. Earlier this week, Enoch's sister Ammi (right) lost an unlawful dismissal appeal at the Court of Appeal and was criticised for her 'utterly appalling and egregious' behaviour during proceedings. Meanwhile, Enoch's father Sean (right inset) and brother Simeon (left inset) have also faced legal issues of their own in recent months - having passionately supported the teacher during various hearings in Dublin's Four Courts. Here FEMAIL delves into the Burke family's legal battles - as Enoch faces an indefinite jail sentence.

He's been at the centre of a trans rights scandal in Ireland for the past two years - and now Enoch Burke's father and brother have become embroiled in their own legal battles.  In May 2022, the history teacher (left) found himself in the centre of Ireland's culture wars after he refused to refer to a transitioning transgender student as 'they' rather than 'he'. It sparked a chain of events that has led to him being jailed for repeatedly showing up at Wilson's Hospital School in County Westmeath after being sacked, and entering the staff room saying he was there to do his job. Enoch has spent over 300 days in Mountjoy Prison in Dublin and has no prospect of release because he refuses to comply with a court order to stay away from the school premises. Last month, he refused a High Court offer to spend Easter out of prison and accused the judge of colluding with the school. In recent months, Enoch's father (top right) and brother (bottom right) have faced legal issues of their own - after the family passionately supported the teacher during various hearings in Dublin's Four Courts.

The children of Braunwyn Windham-Burke have slammed the Real Housewives of Orange County actress after she called her dad, her ex-husband Sean Burke, a 'narcissist.' Two of the former couple's seven children, Rowan, 21, and Jacob, 18, went online and revealed that the reality star, 46, was both a 'narcissist' and a manipulator.' As she re-shared Braunwyn's original post, where she referred to Sean as a "covert narcissist," their daughter took to Instagram first in defense of her father.'

According to the Irish Times, Enoch Burke, a scholar who opposes transgenderism' due to his evangelical convictions, has retained his teaching salary.

In September, Enoch Burke was sentenced to prison for refusing a court order that barred him from entering Co Westmeath, Ireland. Burke's detention was the subject of an appeal at the High Court today, where he refused to violate his contempt by promising that he would follow the instruction not to return to Wilson's Hospital School, where he was suspended last year. According to education lawyers, the former teacher refused to respect his contempt and that they will request with "great reluctance" that he stay in jail in Dublin's Mountjoy Prison. Since being arrested on September 9, Burke, an Evangelical Christian, has spent 95 days in prison, and he will now remain in jail for Christmas. Burke said he opposed transgenderism in 2022, more than a year ago, and he and his deputy said in a meeting in 2022.'

In September, former teacher Enoch Burke (left) was jailed for the second time for refusing a court order that barred him from entering the premises of his former school in Co Westmeath, Ireland. He is now facing the possibility of spending Christmas in jail, something he avoided last year when a high court judge ordered his release just days before. He had spent more than 100 days in prison for refusing to attend Wilson's Hospital School (bottom-right), as he had been ordered to do by the courts. Burke said that his Evangelical Christian convictions led him to opposition of transgenderism during a meeting in 2022 with the headteacher and his deputy.' His faithful families, who are well-known for their radical religious activism and involvement in other high court court cases, continue to protest at the academy (top-right).

Since refusing to use a transgender student's chosen pronouns, a Christian teacher has found himself in the middle of a cultural conflict. Enoch Burke (left) - a historian and German, told the headteacher at his County Westmeath school that his Christian values had 'opposed transgenderism,' before she sluggishly expressed her 'demand' in front of other students and students in May 2022. Since being fired, Wilson's Hospital School (top right) was convicted twice for a string of incidents that culminated in him being jailed twice. Enoch is currently in Mountjoy Prison in Dublin, with no chance of being released because he refuses to comply with a court order not to attend the school's permission to stay away from the school premises. Burke's faithful family (his sister Ammi, bottom right) protests at the school, fearing he is being persecuted for his Christian convictions. Ms Niamh McShane, a former head teacher, is inset.
