NOT SORRY WE CRASHED GALA

ENOCH Burke's family has said they are "not one bit apologetic" for gatecrashing the Ireland Funds gala in Washington last week.

On Thursday evening, Martina, Ammi, and Isaac Burke entered the swanky $1,000-a-plate dinner at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.

They approached Taoiseach Micheal Martin's table at the event, with Mrs Burke shouting that her son Enoch had been in prison for over 500 days.

They were escorted outside by the Taoiseach' protection officers and local law enforcement, where they gave an impromptu press conference during which they believed they were addressing the American media.

They left when they were told only Irish media were present.

In a video posted on X/Twitter on St Patrick's Day, Martina and Isaac Burke, Enoch’s mother and brother, said that people had likely seen the “scenes at the gala ball”.
