There is no onus on any barrister to take him on, wouldn’t have any sympathy for him
I’d actually be concerned about the standards of any barrister willing to take on this guy. Look at him crossways and he’ll be dragging the barrister through the courts in vexatious complaints for years.
Shocking that a legal body would shun a family that have been a menace to the Irish legal system for years.
He’s made himself un-hireable.
Those parents have absolutely ruined their children’s lives.
Oh look, consequences for your actions… Astonishing.
My heart bleeds into my hemorrhoids for him
I wonder if he’s tried just going to the office anyway, even though he doesn’t work there, and just refusing to leave until someone takes out a restraining order… And then continuing to turn up anyway
Leaving aside the antics of the rest of his family; Simeon Burke himself had to be dragged out of court for refusing to leave when asked. On what planet does he think that was appropriate conduct for someone studying, never mind practicing, law?
Divine rewards in the next life don’t pay the bills it seems
It really is a good example of how someone can fuck up their life…
Obviously intelligent, well educated, worked hard through years of school, college etc, passing a series of exams, made it.
…then just threw it all away.
Oh look if it is the consequences of my actions coming back to punch me in the nuts ..
But he is different to the rest of the applicants. He is known well already and his behavior poses a risk to anyone who employs him. So why would anyone take the risk?
For a family that supposedly, in their view, live this “good, god-fearing life” they are full of narcissism and arrogance.
They expect others to respect their tramelled and cruel views. Yet, at the same time, they are horrid and obtuse to anyone who doesn’t conform to their belief system.
They deliberately set themselves at odds with modern society and expect that society can cater to their extreme beliefs. It’s a complete strategy they’ve had for a considerable time.
Money and notoriety are at the head of that strategy. Always have been. Another vexatious claim on the way from that family.
But no one cares do they?
There’s wiser eating grass
He can thank his family for that. I think the disdain this guys family have shown for the law of the land has consequences.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.”
Oh no, is it the consequences for your actions?
Welcome to the real world where your actions have consequences.
I wouldn’t hire someone that dresses exactly like their brothers/sisters/parents either.
He fought the law and the law won.
Now if only the media would do the same and theyd become utter irrelevants as exactly they should be
Well Simeon, the dildo of consequence does not tend to arrive lubricated
Oh I wonder why??? Maybe because you’re not able to leave your personal beliefs behind you when you interact with others!
Poster children for why homeschooling should be illegal.
On no consequences
I may be wrong but I was served by one of them in McDonalds the last day. Is he the youngest or is there another one? In fairness to these lunatics, they will
Consequences for you actions
These clowns need to stop being given so much attention and airtime
An industry based on reputation and compliance with the law won’t take a member of a disgraced family who won’t comply with the law? Colour me shocked.
The Burkes have huge support in many social media comment sections, mostly right wing bots but it’s strange to see.
Here we go again. In all seriousness, when will someome break the Burke family mould. This fella just needs one good ride to make him forget about this religious malarkey, anyone here willing to take one for the team?
Does anyone know if there’s a normal Burke among them? Surely one of them has cracked out of the lunacy
It’s obvious he’s never going to be able to work as a lawyer again. He might as well apply for a job in McDonald’s now.
Just highlights from the opposite angle how much of a closed shop the legal profession is.
Well the boy clearly doesn’t look old enough to have done the junior cert yet so no wonder no barrister wants him. It’s not a day care service…
