@IrelandsPeace @IrishmanIRL There is an open border between the UK and us, but we will still have to take or pay for the numbers that the EU says we have to take.

@Ontheboldstep @PaulMcWeeneyNP Women have a choice but they have a problem waiting 3 days to have an abortion. They demand instant access.

@PaulMcWeeneyNP @PookiePokey "Abortions for thee but not for me"

The fact she campaigned against pain relief for babies being aborted tells us exactly what type of sociopath she is

[Paul McWeeney NP 🇮🇪 @PaulMcWeeneyNP]

Lovely news for Holly Cairns and family.

I find it absolutely disturbing however that Holly was likely knowingly pregnant while she was trying to push the most extreme of abortion laws through the Dáil, attempting to eliminate the little protection that unborn babies have left.

A post every Irish person should read from a mother destined to be alone in her old age with her children scattered around the globe. An increasingly common phenomenon.

Ireland is no land for young people.

@KeithMillsD7 Maybe, but I’m not sure the Appeal Panel were impartial.

BREAKING: CHAIR OF ENOCH BURKE’S APPEAL PANEL REVEALED TO BE MARRIED TO THE CHIEF LEGAL ADVISOR OF CHURCH OF IRELAND

Claire Callanan, the Chair of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel hearing Enoch Burke’s case, has been revealed as a Church of Ireland employee whose husband is its chief legal adviser.

The media, courts and government are withholding this information from the public.

On Sunday afternoon (17 May) Enoch Burke was made aware of shocking details regarding Ms Claire Callanan, the Chair of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel (DAP) set up to hear his appeal.

At the DAP hearing in Athlone on 24 April 2026, Ms Callanan permitted a Barrister and Solicitor for the Board of Management of Wilson’s Hospital School to be present to represent the school. Enoch Burke objected to this as being contrary to settled law, the Circular and the practice of the DAP. He was subsequently removed from the hearing at the direction of Ms Callanan and no substantive hearing of his appeal took place.

On 17 May 2026, it came to Enoch Burke’s attention that a serious conflict of interest existed regarding the presence of Claire Callanan on the Disciplinary Appeal Panel. Ms Callanan was appointed to this position by the Minister for Education, Hildegarde Naughton TD (Fine Gael).

Wilson’s Hospital School is one of a small number of secondary schools in Ireland with a Church of Ireland ethos. Ms Callanan is the Chair of the ecclesiastical Disciplinary Tribunal of the Church of Ireland. Ms Callanan was appointed as a member of the Disciplinary Tribunal by the Standing Committee of the Church of Ireland in November 2021 and was subsequently appointed as Chair.

In addition, Ms Callanan’s husband, Mr Lyndon MacCann SC, is:

1. A member of the Representative Body of the Church of Ireland, along with John McDowell, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland and Pat Storey, Bishop of Meath and Kildare, who both serve as Trustees and Guardians of Wilson’s Hospital School;

2. A chair of three of the eight Committees of the of the Representative Body of the Church of Ireland, including Chair of the Legal Advisory Committee;

3. Registrar to William Morton, the Dean & Ordinary of St Patrick’s Cathedral Dublin, a Director of Wilson’s Hospital School, and

4. A Lay Judge of the Court of the General Synod, the highest ecclesiastical tribunal in the Church of Ireland.

Mr Lyndon MacCann SC was seated beside Archbishop John McDowell at the top table at the Church of Ireland General Synod in Armagh on 11 May 2024, when Martina Burke addressed the gathering regarding the imprisonment of her son, and her daughter was violently assaulted by an attendee.

Exactly one week later, on 18 May 2024, Mr Lyndon MacCann SC and Claire Callanan were married in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. William Morton, the Dean & Ordinary of the Cathedral and a Director of Wilson’s Hospital School, assisted in the officiation of the wedding.

The Chairperson of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel (DAP) is required to be “independent”. Ms Callanan works for and has as a client an entity which is intrinsically connected to the school in this appeal. Furthermore, her husband is a high-ranking member of and the chief legal advisor to the same entity. There is no doubt but that he is one of the most powerful men in the Church of Ireland. Ms Callanan cannot be an impartial and independent decisionmaker in this appeal.

It is abhorrent that Enoch Burke would have been deceived into sitting in front of Ms Callanan as Chairperson of the DAP. It was hypocrisy of the deepest dye for Ms Callanan to seek to hear the appeal, claiming that she "really wanted to hear [Enoch]” and that the DAP was "desperately" trying to be fair, while at the same time failing to disclose her husband's role as the most senior lay member of the Church of Ireland and its chief legal advisor. Ms Callanan also failed to disclose her own position as Chair of the ecclesiastical Disciplinary Tribunal of the Church of Ireland.

Enoch Burke raised the serious matters above with the DAP by letter on Monday (18 May), stating that they warranted the dropping of the disciplinary proceedings against him, an apology by the Board, and his full reinstatement as teacher of German and History at Wilson's Hospital School.

On Wednesday this week (20 May) the DAP responded, dismissing the concerns raised regarding Ms Callanan. One hour later the DAP issued a further ‘opinion’ letter striking out Enoch Burke’s appeal without delivering any judgement on the substantive issues.

At 10:05pm that same night Enoch Burke received an email from the Board of Management of Wilson’s Hospital School claiming that he was now “dismissed.”

This morning (Thursday) Barrister Rosemary Mallon for Wilson’s Hospital School made an application in the High Court for the case of Enoch Burke to be addressed. Enoch Burke was forced to dial in virtually from Castlerea Prison in Co. Roscommon.

At the subsequent hearing Rosemary Mallon announced the decision of the DAP to the court. Enoch Burke raised the serious issues regarding Ms Callanan and his letter of 18 May to the DAP. Judge Brian Cregan refused to address these issues and instead requested that Rosemary Mallon read out the DAP’s ‘opinion letter’ to the court in full.  Enoch Burke strongly objected to this as he had not himself received or read this letter himself at this point, being incarcerated. He reiterated the invalidity of the DAP’s decision, having regards to the serious conflict of interest regarding Ms Callanan. The Judge refused to uphold his objection.

Simeon Burke, who was present in court, then requested that the Judge uphold the law and fair procedure in this matter and not allow the reading of the DAP’s decision in circumstances where the teacher had not even had a chance to receive or read it, and where a serious question mark had been raised regarding its validity.

Judge Brian Cregan refused to have regard to Simeon Burke’s submission and rose from the bench. Subsequently Garda Michael McGrath violently removed Simeon Burke from the courtroom.

The media have shamefully failed to report on the shocking revelations regarding Claire Callanan’s conflict of interest as Chair of the DAP. Shane Phelan of the Irish Independent, Orla O’Donnell of RTÉ, Ann O’Loughlin of the Irish Examiner, and others - all of these were made aware of the situation regarding Claire Callanan earlier this week but have failed to report on it. By withholding this information they are denying the truth to the public. It is a tragedy that the people of Ireland are so grievously failed by those with a duty to report the truth.

@maggiemoo83 She didn't pitch up outside the Dail or UL hospital in Limerick when Scarlett Faulkner was battered so badly that she died 3 weeks later.Eileen is very selective, even within her 'own community', about whom she stands for and with.
