ER Editor: We’ve published a fair amount of Enoch Burke‘s history. See this latest post, when he was put in jail before Christmas, apparently indefinitely —
Enoch Burke Will Remain in Jail for Christmas, Judge Rules
***
Now he’s been released, as of this past Wednesday, but why exactly? Burke addresses this in his short speech to the press below. And Burke has every intention of returning to his workplace, to do the job he feels he should never have been sacked from. Which he does (see the tweet below). The judge knows this, claims Burke, which leads him to believe that he is being set up judicially.
Burke’s constitutional right to his beliefs, beliefs which reject labelling minors with arbitrary pronouns under transgender ideology, has never been addressed by the courts.

FULL TEXT
My brother teacher @EnochBurke was released from prison today. He spent over 560 days in a jail cell for refusing to bow to transgender ideology. His release today however is a total mockery of justice. Judge Brian Cregan knows full well that Enoch will return to his place of work, Wilson’s Hospital School, and then faces an immediate return to prison. This stunt by Judge Cregan, after he threatened in December to keep Enoch imprisoned indefinitely, is nothing but an attempt to damage Enoch’s standing in the public eye. At the same time Judge Cregan was today counselling the Disciplinary Appeal Panel on how best to respond to a legal challenge by Enoch Burke – this panel held a shambolic and disgraceful appeal “hearing” in December which was utterly devoid of fairness and justice. One Panel member, Geraldine O’Brien, blatantly stated at the outset of the hearing “If I were instructed by my Principal to call a child whatever, I have to implement that instruction, I don’t make the instruction”. Judge Brian Cregan is now counselling this Panel as they seek to defend the indefensible in the High Court. This is an utter travesty of justice.
This video shows Burke returning to his place of work —

Enoch Burke has described his release from Mountjoy Prison today as a “quick fix” and an effort by a judge to “relieve his own conscience.”
“He knows I’ll be at my workplace,” said Mr Burke. “He’s letting me out because he sees the public mood changing.”https://t.co/l9fHw2277M

These two reports from The Liberal below are dated Jan 16 and Jan 15 respectively.
To us this has a white hat smell all over it.

BREAKING: He’ll never bow to transgenderism: Enoch Burke returns to Wilson’s Hospital School for second day
JAMES BRENNAN for THE LIBERAL
The development follows his ongoing legal dispute with the school and the Department of Education, stemming from his refusal to call a boy ‘they’ and subsequent suspension and court orders barring him from attending the premises.
The case continues to attract significant public and media attention, not only in Ireland, but from around the world.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke returns to Wilson’s Hospital school grounds just hours after prison release
JAMES BRENNAN for THE LIBERAL
The long-running dispute stems from Burke’s refusal in 2022 to comply with a school directive regarding a student’s gender identity (use of preferred name and pronouns). This led to his suspension and eventual dismissal from the school in 2023. Burke has maintained that attending the school is his “duty” and refuses to accept the dismissal or related court orders prohibiting him from trespassing on the premises.
He has been imprisoned multiple times for contempt of court due to repeated breaches of injunctions barring him from the school property. Most recently, he was jailed in late November 2025 and had spent around 550 days in prison across various periods since 2022.
Yesterday, Mr Justice Brian Cregan ordered Burke’s release from Mountjoy Prison. The judge described Burke’s issues with the Disciplinary Appeals Panel (DAP)—which is reviewing his dismissal—as “substantive” and “credible.”
– The release was granted for “one reason and one reason only”: in the interests of the administration of justice, to allow Burke time to properly prepare his legal challenge against the DAP.
– The order was strictly conditional: Burke must not trespass on school property. The judge explicitly warned that any breach would prompt the school to return to court immediately, and he would have “no hesitation” in returning Burke to prison.
– During the hearing and upon release, Burke repeatedly stated his intention to return to the school, telling media outside the prison that he planned to attend the next day (January 15).
Mr Burke appeared outside Wilson’s Hospital School on the morning of January 15 and spoke to the media there. He has not been reported as having successfully entered the grounds, but his presence directly tests the conditions of his release. The DAP proceedings remain paused pending the outcome of his injunction application, with the matter scheduled to return to the High Court around January 21,.
This episode highlights the ongoing standoff: the courts have upheld the school’s position and the trespass order, while Burke continues to challenge the process and assert his right to return to work.
The case has drawn significant attention due to its duration, the repeated imprisonments, and broader debates around gender identity policies in schools, employment rights, and contempt enforcement. Further court appearances are expected soon.
