  • The Silence of the Learned

    I scrolled to see if there were any podcasts about the Burke son who have been professionally pariahed in the Bar apprentice scheme or the many legal woes of Enoch Burke. You were instituted to keep the government in check. Instead you’re part of Ireland’s woes. Won’t be listening.
