The Gaa Catfish, podcast episode 3

Anyone listening? Mental stuff!!!!

As I understand her Dad is dead and her mother has been defending her online including on 2 Johnnies social media. Make of that what you will. 🍎 + 🌳

But is it her mother or is it "Nikki" using her mother's name 😅

What do we think will happen now? I mean, the parents at the school will hardly keep quiet? She’s obviously a very unwell individual and should not be around teenage boys. I certainly wouldn’t want her within a donkey’s roar of my son.

would she not just bigger off to the Middle East of something where she might have some hope no one will know her? I just don’t get her motivations, any of them!

Is she still teaching or is she on sick leave? If it is the latter I guess the school just have to keep with temps until she is better and fit to return or resigns. I guess the school didn't want a potential Burke on their hands. I know the school my brothers went there decades ago as did (fun fact) Padraig Harrington and Paul McGinley. I think they were right to pull out of grievance claim and take the spotlight off them. They may try and manage her out but as I said if she is not actively teaching at the moment they are best just letting the publicity die down

If disciplinary has been stopped then surely she has to be still working? I mean innocent till proven guilty and all that I guess. What an ordeal though. I still do not know how anyone has that much time on their hands and with her having a job too its not like she had nothing else going on in her life.

The 2 or 1 Johnny needs to come out and say it either is or isn't her. He knows as met her. His silence is adding not only to the drama but also preventing her from getting the help she needs. He is doing no favours to other men who 'she' may be doing the very same to. Why allow her to continue to fire ahead doing possibly untold damage to the mental health of other vulnerable men.

From what I’ve read she’s not been on sick leave this time, she took 2 weeks off sick when ep 1 and 2 were released but said she didn’t need time off this time.

Innocent until proven guilty sure… but from what I gather her presence is really disrupting the smooth running of the school. The parents are up in arms and threatened a protest, some have pulled children from their classes. The boys themselves have lost all respect for her and are constantly taking pictures of her and posting to social media, taking the piss out of her in class and even having pisstaking T-shirts printed that they’ve goaded her with in class. It sounds like chaos.

Thing is they cannot fire her all they can do is have her signed off cos she won't leave as she will never get another post like she has now.

I think that the parents and school should be focusing on this behaviour.
She is clearly unwell. No one deserves to be bullyed and harassed especially someone so vulnerable. Two wrongs dont make a right.

Is there any evidence that she is a risk to young boys? It seems her focus is on celeb /sports stars. Cant remember now but did her catfishing cross into anything of a sexual nature?

While I understand what you’re saying, I don’t think the focus should be on the students behaviour here… they’re teenagers, of course they’ll latch on to this and take the piss.

She is unwell, that’s very clear, but she’s been given numerous opportunities to stop this behaviour over the last number of years and she hasn’t. It doesn’t seem that she has sought help and her behaviour is just escalating.

I think her clear mental instability, manipulation and delusion make her a risk to young boys. I wouldn’t have my son in a classroom with her.

In terms of her behaviour being sexual, she has requested sexual images from numerous targets of hers, so far it’s believed these haven’t surfaced elsewhere online thankfully. She also made allegations of rape by a male teacher in a school she was working in (unverified reports that male teachers in her current school have been approached to ask if they were the ones she accused of raping her, obviously awful for them) and she made allegations that another man forced her to have an abortion.

This woman is not fit to be around vulnerable young people.

At the end of the day, there's fuck all the school can do

Maybe not. How did Enoch Burke’s school manage to get rid of him originally? I’ll have to check what grounds they terminated him on.

The parents should really just pull their children from her classes. If the majority of parents did this, the school would have to address it.

And there’s surely something about your out of work behaviour bringing the school into disrepute and essentially causing issues to the running of the school?

@HowToBuy that was a completely different situation, he was abusive to his principal and disrupted a school event! That's why he was originally disciplined!

The parents can protest all they want, the schools hands are absolutely tied. There is nothing they can do. She isn't being investigated for anything illegal, she hasn't actually broken teachers code of conduct! Out of work behaviour links directly to students, as far as we know she hasn't done this to her students.

No principal wants to deal with this level of disruption. If there was any way she could be gotten rid of they'd have carried on with the disciplinary action! I imagine a legal team told them not to bother that they would be fighting a losing battle.

@PurpleDiva22Tbf, she’s disrupting the day to day running of the school as well though. I do genuinely hope they find some way of holding her to account. It might be the only way she’d cop onto herself and seek help, the recent allegations she’s made could ruin someone’s life if they were believed.

Can’t get over the fact that she’s fought the disciplinary and hasn’t just emigrated.
