"Yes, I saw that in the op. He tried to go do his job, earning a living and he was arrested for it. Becasue since he did not bow to the demands of you lefties he was not allowed to work his job.
And you think that is a good thing?
Referring to his suspension, Mr Burke said: 'It is extraordinary and reprehensible that someone's religious beliefs on this matter could ever be taken as grounds for an allegation of misconduct.
'My religious beliefs are not misconduct. They are not gross misconduct. They never will be. They are dear to me. I will never deny them and never betray them, and I will never bow to an order that would require me to do so. It is just not possible for me to do that.'"

Enoch Burke was arrested yesterday morning for breaching a court order not to teach at his Westmeath school - Wilson's Hospital School - or be physically present there.

The School Board accused him of "Gross Misconduct". That was a nefarious LIE!!! It was an attempt to intimidate him and frankly for a teacher it is death to his good name. The Board is not only in the wrong but when Judge Quinn finds out that the Board has done this in their initial application to the Court then frankly he should have the bastards arrested!!!

What is Gross Misconduct under Irish Law?
""Section 8 of the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973 saves an employer from liability for minimum notice where the dismissal is for misconduct. We have always held that this exemption applies only to cases of very bad behaviour of such a kind that no reasonable employer could be expected to tolerate the continuance of the relationship for a minute longer; we believe the legislature had in mind such things as violent assault or larceny or behaviour in the same sort of serious category. If the legislature had intended to exempt an employer from giving notice in such cases where the behaviour fell short of being able to fairly be called by the dirty word ‘misconduct’ we have always felt that they would have said so by adding such words (after the word misconduct) as negligence, slovenly workmanship, bad timekeeping, etc. They did not do so.""

By suspending Burke for "Gross Misconduct" then frankly they have dealt a calumny to him that is extreme!! Burke is frankly overtaken by "Righteous anger" at the destruction of his good name by The Board. Where can I donate to his cause??
