FAMILY MEMBERS OF Enoch Burke have been forcibly removed from a St Patrick’s Day event in Washington DC after disrupting speeches at an evening gala. Burke’s mother Martina and two of his siblings entered the private Ireland Funds Gala and began shouting during a speech by the head coach of the Washington Commanders NFL team Dan Quinn before being forcibly removed by police.

The Burke family gate crashed the Ireland Funds gala dinner in Washington DC on Thursday night. The family had been protesting outside as guests arrived but entered halfway through a speech being made by the head coach of the American football team Washington Commanders, Dan Quinn.

Members of the evangelical Burke family were dragged out of a gala dinner in the US after they broke into the event to accost the Taoiseach. Enoch Burke was jailed for contempt of court after he was ordered to stay away from Wilson’s Hospital School in the midlands;
