Irish Government Seizes Bank Account of Teacher Opposing Trans Ideology
The Irish government has seized the bank account of Enoch Burke, a teacher who opposed trans ideology by refusing to use invented pronouns for a transgender-identifying student. His stand, rooted in his Christian beliefs, has led to a dramatic escalation.
Burke, employed at a Christian school, expected his view—that only two sexes exist—would be respected, but he was mistaken. Sharing his ordeal on X, he revealed in a video that his €750 weekly salary didn’t arrive on payday, and his €40,000 life savings were taken from his raided account. Calling it “unprecedented,” Burke cited legal backing, underscoring the profound impact of losing his hard-earned savings.

There are “murderers and thieves walking so freely on our streets, but all of the stops can be pulled out for me,” Burke said, explaining that a receiver has been appointed to take his salary. “I’m not a criminal,” Burke stated; he simply refused in 2022 to refer to a student as “they” when his principal demanded it. The Church of Ireland has apparently gone as woke as its counterpart, the Church of England. Simply for refusing to violate his conscience and submit to transgender ideology, Burke said he subsequently spent 500 days in jail. “I refused to be compelled into promoting an anti-Christian belief in the [Christian] school where I was employed,” the young teacher said.
And now there’s the seizure of his money. It is worth noting that the European Union, of which Ireland is a member, is currently planning to expedite its digital euro, which would make it even easier for the government to seize a person’s money, even potentially without any trial. For a long time now, in Communist China, the government can immediately shut off digital funds for dissidents.
Burke slammed Ireland’s top leadership, including PM Micheál Martin, who lives a life of luxury off taxpayer money while defying taxpayers’ wishes and laughing at the crises plaguing Ireland.
In a separate post announcing the seizure of his €40,000 bank account and his teaching salary, along with authorization to seize any other of Burke’s assets, Burke emphasized the rigged court system:
“Senior Counsel Brian Kennedy SC for the Attorney General was granted as much time as he wished to make his submissions in Court on this unprecedented matter and was not questioned in any way by the bench. By contrast, when Enoch Burke rose to speak, he was cut off after only 5 minutes by Mr. Justice David Nolan, who repeatedly interrupted him. The Judge then delivered his pre-prepared ruling immediately.
Enoch Burke sought to draw attention to the fact that the root cause of this case, the principal’s direction to all staff to address a male student by a new name and the ‘they’ pronoun, has never been assessed for its constitutionality or lawfulness by any Court, despite these proceedings being now ongoing for more than 2.5 years. When Enoch Burke read out Article 44 of the Irish Constitution, which binds the State to ‘respect and honour religion’, he was immediately shut down by Judge David Nolan.”
Even Burke’s short written submissions were not allowed to be brought or read in court. According to him, the Irish constitution requires respect for religion, but that is being violated by the woke ideologues.

How tragic that the once-Catholic Emerald Isle, which was famous for keeping the flame of the Christian faith burning brightly for more than a millennium, and which fought so hard for freedom, has now become a nation of anti-Christian authoritarianism.
