Kieran Christie strongly denies Mr Burke’s claims, which are based on Mr Christie accepting law of land on gender recognition
There was one brief interruption in the proceedings when Mr Burke’s sister, Ammi, and mother, Martina, complained about a comment made by counsel for the appeals panel. The judge rose briefly but returned in under five minutes and resumed the hearing
This was when Mr Christie wrote in the ASTI members’ magazine, ASTIR, that the “most important” session of a just-held ASTI seminar was an address by a representative of the Transgender Equality Network Ireland group. ASTI was a member of what Mr Burke called the radical Children’s Rights Alliance which in 2018 made a “very disturbing recommendation” that legislation should be introduced allowing children over 16 to change their gender without their parents’ consent, he said.
Mr Burke said ASTI’s “appalling prejudice” was demonstrated by advice given in a newspaper interview by its deputy general secretary Diarmuid de Paor last September saying parents should support their children if they wanted to use the pronoun “they” rather than he or she. Mr Burke was wrong in his claim that Mr Christie’s bias was also demonstrated in May this year when he presented an ASTI achievement award to a teacher because of her “commitment to supporting LGBTI+ students”.
