"I'd go for Darina Allen as the mother...in fairness shes as fucked up as her "
Waaaa you’re right but she is only the grand ma and all she wanted to do was create an empire
Agreed

The only rational choice for the role would be the delusional religious Scientology crackpot, Tom Cruise, who would identify wholly with Enoch Burke's zealous opinions about transgenderism, etc.
In the mother's role I think Kelly McGillis or Ally Sheedy would be ideal, especially the latter, as she is also a Scientologist, as far as I am aware, but I could be mistaken.
In the father's role, I think the narcissistic cracpot, Christian Bale, who played the role of Marty McFly's father in Back to the Future, or posissibly Christopher Lloyd who was the mad scientist who invented the De Lorean time machine, which could also make an appearance, having been manufactured in Northern Ireland in Dunmurry, just outside Belfast in 1981. |

In the judge's role, I think that Judge Judy or Judge Rinder would be perfect casting.
Anne Hathaway or possibly Jordan Turpin would be particularly interesting choices; who is Jordan Turpin? She managed to escape from an extremely dysfunctional family setup in Perris, California.
Similarly, to the Burkes all of the Turpin family children were named on biblical characters; Jordan Turpin who is very articulate and intelligent is now a famous social media celebrity for teenagers in the U S, especially on TikTok.

Some further cogitation resulted in another actor in the father's role: yet another zealous crackpot in the Scientology mould: John Travolta.
Apparently, Scientologists are particularly active in all of Ireland; so having blasphemed Scientology I may expect to be stalked, publicly identified and be subjected to injunctions! |

Christian Bale was only 10 years old when Back to the Future was released.
Crispin Glover played Martys dad. |

The best version would have Ardal O'Hanlon as Enoch and Pauline McLynn as the mother. Tommy Tiernan would play the father exactly like in Derry Girls.
I need Kevin McAleer in there somewhere as well but I haven't figured it out yet. |

We could probably even get Woody Allen involved in this yet?  |

"I’m envisioning a Benny Hill skit where he is being chased by the gardai through the corridors of the school. The theme tune playing and all
Wonder where did you lift that idea from  "
Definitely not Enoch and his mother in that one |

Somehow can't imagine them ever having mother/son fun on a swing or anywhere else. No wonder he's messed up  |

"Daniel Day Lewis to play Enoch. He would have to go and stand outside the school for a few weeks to get fully into the role though "
It could be done in a Beckett style...
"Waiting for God... Oh
" |

.........
The Mrs B character could just keep repeating "ahh go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on.
TT as the dad wouldn't have to attempt to tell any jokes.... which might be a good thing. |

"The donkey from BoIE as Enoch.
He did like to keep turning up inside where he wasn't meant to be.
What's BoIE?
Banshee of Inisherin
Aha.. Lovely donkey  "
Loved his speech mentioning Jenny The donkey |

Well spotted. If I had put BoI people might have thought it was Bank of Ireland....scary figure coming to repossess residential property.
Might feature in the Enoch movie if the courts go after him for costs. |

A non sequitur!
In The Times (London) this week was an interesting article about Benny Hill who would have been 99 this year (he died 31 years ago in 1992), in poor health, and utterly devastated that his show on Thames TV had been cancelled at short notice.
Although his style of show is regarded as being non-pc in Britain and Ireland, he is phenomenally popular in Spain, as Norman Wisdom was in Albania.
The famous Benny Hill 'chasing' theme is called Yakety Sax; instantly recognisable!
Benny is reputed to have had some very interesting sexual preferences. |

"I was incorrect to cite Christian Bale's name;
it was of course Crispin Glover, who by several measures is a very unusual guy."

Enoch is like Michael Myers from Halloween. The fecker keeps coming back!!! 
I reckon Joseph Gordon-Levitt would make a great Enoch and his mum could be played perfectly by Bridget Taylor (Katie's mum) |

In today's judgement, Mr Justice O'Moore has shown Enoch and his family that he is determined to bring this matter to an end.
€700 per day, or part of a day, starting at 2pm on Friday is a hefty fine for Enoch; aside from the costs issues that have yet to be determined.
If he accumulates these fines and either cannot pay or refuses to pay, he will serve time in prison by default.
Having personally attended many of these recent court hearings in Dublin, I witnessed the Burkes, but not the father, berating and attempting to bully the judiciary. This was an ill-advised action!
Costs could potentially bankrupt the Burke family into impecuniousness.

"Impecuniousness"
"Skint" or "Broke ass" would have sufficed as had to look up my Websters Dictionary there mate |

But then you wouldn't have had to look it up and thereby expanding your vocabulary! |
