The Burke family protested at the White House during Micheál Martin's visit, expressing concerns over religious freedom in Ireland. They highlighted the case of their son, Enoch Burke, who faced imprisonment for his refusal to refer to a transgender student by their preferred name and pronouns, citing it as a violation of his Christian beliefs. The family, known for their advocacy, claims that Enoch's situation reflects broader issues of religious liberty in Ireland, with deep financial implications stemming from court orders against him.
‘We feel compelled to protest because, as Evangelical Christians, we believe in the importance of religious freedom, especially for those facing discrimination.’
‘Enoch Burke's imprisonment for refusing to comply with policies he believes violate his faith showcases a concerning trend in the suppression of religious liberties in Ireland.’
