Irish Government Freezes Christian Teacher's Bank Account After He Refused to Use Gender-Neutral Pronouns --"What this is all about is an attempt to change the face of our country..." | 31 March 2025 | The Irish government has frozen the bank account of an Irish teacher after his continued refusal to use gender-neutral pronouns for a student at Wilson's Hospital School. Enoch Burke, who has spent more than 500 days in jail for refusing to comply with a court order, also had his salary payments halted. Burke attempted to withdraw funds from his Bank of Ireland account last week but found that he was unable to access his money. The account reportedly holds over 40,000 euros -- his personal savings from years of work. The Irish government and courts have frozen these funds and are set to seize them next week.
