In The News - Podcast autorstwa The Irish Times

Teacher Enoch Burke could get out of jail today if he chose to.All he needs to do is say he’ll follow a court order to stay away from the school where he worked until being suspended in a row over his refusal to call a trans student by their preferred pronouns.In cases of civil contempt there is no clear mechanism for bringing to an end the situation without Mr Burke backing down. But given his stated intentions, and taking into account his family’s history in legal disputes, it seems unlikely Mr Burke will do that. So how will the situation ever get resolved?Jennifer O’Connell and Mary Carolan talk to Conor Pope. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
