Dear Prime Minister Ahern,
Despite a number of reminders to Mr Geraghty, and to two of his
lawyer colleagues at law-firm Fair Murtagh, I have STILL not received any
reply from them to my letter dated December 21st 2004.
I have reproduced the text of my December 21st 2004 letter below, and
with reference to Paragraph 1, I wish you to know that I still wish to
sue the State for wrongful acts for its public servants.
One of the practical consequences for me personally, of one of
the wrongful acts I refer to, means that TWO huge
rubbish dumps will (if they ever actually do go-ahead) be located close to
my home in New Inn, County Galway: one a mile or so to the east in
Kilconnell, and the other a mile or so to the west in the Ballyfa/Cross
area.
I understand that work is due to start on the Kilconnell rubbish dump
this coming April, which of course is now only weeks away.
Well before any work begins at the Kilconnell or Ballyfa/Cross
rubbish dumps, I wish to formally initiate a High
Court challenge regarding the constitutionality of the
alterations (made during and since 2001) to the Waste Management
Act: which removed decision making powers from my elected local government
representatives (i.e. the Galway County Councillors) regarding the
location of such large rubbish dumps.
As I have related to you and your colleagues SEVERAL times during the
past few years, I am entirely convinced that the alterations in
question are in blatant breach of Article 28A of the Constitution of the
Republic of Ireland, for the reasons I set out in my appeal to An Bord
Pleanala dated February 21st 2004, which can be viewed at Internet
location: http://www.finnachta.com/BordPleanalaAppeal.htm
To the very best of my knowledge and understanding, the Republic of
Ireland is not just a "democracy": it is a
CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY;
and, part of that Constitution (Article 40) is devoted to the "Personal
Rights" of all citizens.
Article 40.3.1 states: "The State guarantees in its laws to
respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate
the personal rights of the citizen."
Article 40.3.2 goes on to say: "The State shall, in particular, by
its laws protect as best it may from unjust attack and, in the case of
injustice done, vindicate the life, person, good name, and property rights
of every citizen."
In the complete absence of any explanation - from anybody - as to why
law-firm Fair Murtagh appears to be completely ignoring the letters I sent
to them through the registered post on December 21st 2004, and November
30th 2004, I do not know who exactly is responsible for their failure
to reply to me. Nevertheless, I believe that whoever they are, they
are grossly compounding the already shocking situation regarding the
ongoing unlawful interference with my constitutional rights, by
public servants acting on behalf of the State of the Republic of Ireland
(or "Eire" or "Ireland" as it is referred to in Article 4 of the
Constitution).
I further believe that you, and indeed ALL of your public servant
colleagues in ALL three of the main organs of government, have an
extremely important duty to ensure that I and all other citizens of
the Republic of Ireland have easy access to the services of lawyers when
we need to legally defend ourselves against unlawful interference with our
constitutional rights.
Consequently, I would be very grateful if you would look into the
matter of why law-firm Fair Murtagh is failing to reply to my letters,
and to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that I am provided
with the services of lawyer - WITHOUT ANY FURTHER
ADO PLEASE - who will act on my behalf, and in my best interests.
Although I have provided my postal address below, please note that I
am unable to collect mail from that address at the present time (for fear
of being arrested, and possibly imprisoned). I would therefore be
very grateful to you if you would reply to me at your earliest convenience
please using the address I am sending this e-mail from, which is: newinngalway@yahoo.co.uk

Subject: Request to
start legal proceedings ...
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 16:17:21 +0000
(GMT)
Dear Mr Geraghty,
Assuming, as appears to me to
be the case, that your thoughts (and your efforts?) regarding
the possibility of amicably resolving the matter of the extant
warrant for my arrest have come to nothing, please note that I now
wish to sue the State for the wrongful acts of public servants which
I have been subjected to - as I have already indicated to
you in my e-mail dated November 29th (which has been copied to the
following Internet location:
http://www.constitutionofireland.com/FairMurtaghEmail29Nov2004.htm
I will send a signed copy of this e-mail to you later today
through the registered post.
Please note that the
attempt to corruptly criminalise me, and to possibly lock me up in jail as
well I suspect, in connection with a "crime" which has been INVENTED,
is just one of a long list of wrongful acts by public servants that I have
been exposed to since 1998.
For the purpose of starting
proceedings, which I wish you to begin as SOON as possible
please, the wrongful act which concerns me most at the present time
is the one relating to the Aarhus Convention Agreement (referred to
below).
In terms of benefits for the People of the Republic
of Ireland (whose numbers include myself of course), and with due
regard for its enormous potential to reduce a wide and growing range
of social problems in our society, I view the Aarhus Convention
Agreement as the most important international agreement of its kind ever
to have been signed.
Despite its widely
recognised importance (among those who have managed to find out about it
despite all of the well organised and almost water-tight censorship), our
government has been doing everything it possibly can to keep the People of
the Republic of Ireland completely in the dark regarding the Aarhus
Convention Agreement: to the amazing extent that it has been blatantly
violating a very important section of the fundamental law of the
State (i.e. Article 29.5.1 of the Republic of Ireland Constitution) for
several years now.
As many who are well
informed on the subject would readily agree (I believe), what happens in
the Republic of Ireland regarding the Aarhus Convention Agreement may well
have huge knock-on effects for the Peoples of many other states in Europe,
and in the rest of the world as well.
As can be seen
below, I have now raised the matter of law-breaking by government with
Prime Minister Ahern, and with 231 other Oireachtas members, through a set
of 8 e-mails sent in recent days similar to the one further down dated
Sat, 18 Dec 2004.
If I am arrested, I intend to hand a copy
of this e-mail to the person/s concerned, refer them to your law firm
(Fair Murtagh), and then remain silent.
If I am taken before
the courts against my wishes, it is my intention to remain silent (which I
assume I have a legal right to do): unless and until such time as I have a
lawyer BY MY SIDE in court to defend me, who is THOROUGHLY familiar with
my case.
Anyone wishing to get a broader view of my case may
do so by viewing an e-mail sent three years ago today at the following

Dear Oireachtas
Member,
It would be very much appreciated if you could please take
careful note of the contents of the e-mail below to lawyer Mr Gearoid
Geraghty (dated December 15th 2004).
Please note that so far, I
have not received ANY reply from Mr Geraghty, or from any of his
colleagues at law firm Fair-Murtagh (which has offices in Ballinasloe,
Athlone, Moate, and Dublin).
Neither have I heard anything from ANY
of the public servants in the "Cc:" list of the December 15th 2004 e-mail
reproduced below.
To the very best of my knowledge and judgement,
the difficulty I am struggling with involves law-breaking by Government
(in MORE ways than one); and, the problem is proving FAR too big for me to
deal with on my own. Please help.
Yours
sincerely,
William Finnerty.

Hospitalisation, and sudden discharge ...
Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004
14:50:00 +0000 (GMT)
Dear Mr Geraghty,
In fear for my life,
and with due regard for the contents of the two e-mails copied below, I
hurriedly left the Republic of Ireland jurisdiction in the early hours
of December 7th 2004.
Later that day (i.e. December 7th 2004), I
was admitted to hospital under the care of Consultant Psychiatrist Dr.
Foster in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
Much to my
surprise, and to the surprise of hospital staff, I was suddenly discharged
from hospital yesterday - straight out onto the street, and COMPLETELY
against my wishes. Dr Foster claimed (repeatedly) this was entirely in
order for him to do this because he could find no evidence that I was
suffering from any form of mental illness. Requests by me for a second
opinion (on the decision to discharge me yesterday) from a different
consultant psychiatrist were also repeatedly refused.
Dr Foster's
actions seem to mirror the actions of Dr. Jacque Maurice in Shrewsbury in
or around October 2002. At first they were both very helpful; and then,
suddenly and without any reasonable explanation, they both appeared to go
cold and withdraw their help: as though they had been instructed by their
supperiors to do so. In the case of Dr. Foster, his unexplained
change-of-heart was ruthlessly vicious and insulting, and witnessed by
several members of staff.
Requests made to discuss my safety
situation with members of the Northern Ireland police force, BEFORE I was
discharged from hospital yesterday, were also repeatedly refused: for no
good reason that I know of. Consequently, I am now afraid to seek help
from members of the Northern Ireland police force.
My money is
running out and I do not feel well enough, or safe enough, to go through
the process of having money transferred to me from the Republic of Ireland
to a Northern Ireland bank. Consequently, I now fear that I will soon end
up living on the streets.
Please note that Dr Foster and his
support staff were all made fully aware of my overall situation at various
times during my recent seven day stay in hospital. Please also note that I
am copying this e-mail to the Secretary of the Northern Ireland Health
& Social Services Board, in the hope that the person in question will
URGENTLY investigate Dr Foster's behaviour relating to my recent treatment
in Omagh under his care.
As my ongoing situation has all along
involved a number of very basic human rights issues, I am now copying this
e-mail to the Northern Ireland Ombudsman, the UK Ombudsman, the
Republic of Ireland Ombudsman, and the European Community
Ombudsman.
I am also copying this e-mail to the Northern Ireland
police: in the hope that I will receive a written assurance from them
(i.e. an e-mail to the address provided below) that it is safe for me to
go to a police station to discuss my present security situation with
them.
Please let me know what (if anything) you, or your lawyer
colleagues at Fair-Murtagh plan to do regarding my present situation (as
outlined above). Despite Ciara Macklin's request below, I am reluctantly
copying this e-mail to her nonetheless. This is because I have not
received any reply from you to a number of letters I have sent to you
through the registered post during the past two years or so. Working from
memory only, there are least two such letters, and possibly as many as
four. In addition, I have not received any reply to several e-mails I have
sent to both yourself, and to Mr Egan (Principal Lawyer at Fair-Murtagh)
during the same period.
Finally, I would ask you and your lawyer
colleagues at Fair Murtagh to please take PARTICULAR note of the fact the
Senator Jim Higgins MEP has recently asked Prime Minister Ahern TD (in
writing) why he has failed to comply with Article 29.5.1 of the Republic
of Ireland Constitution regarding the international United Nations Aarhus
Convention Agreement signed by the Republic of Ireland in 1998. To view a
copy of Senator Higgins e-mail to me on this subject, please go to

sincerely,
William Finnerty.

me to collect emails from my Eircom account at the present time, please

Dear Mr Finnerty,
unfortunately I have only
just opened your email as I was not in the office at all yesterday due to
court committments. I understand that the guards are making arrangements
to bring you to court and there is nothing we can do about that. Mr
Geraghty is in court today and we never indicated to you on Monday that he
would not be available for Wednesday. In the event he was still ill
another solicitor from this office would be attending and you could not
avoid your obligation to appear in court.
As I am not familiar
with your case and as Mr Geraghty is your solicitor I would be obliged if
you confine your correspondance to him directly.
Yours
Faithfully,
Ciara Macklin.

Subject: Loughrea Court (Wednesday December 8th 2004)
Dear
Ms Macklin,
Following our meeting when I called to your office in
Ballinasloe this afternoon, it is now my understanding that Mr Geraghty is
ill in bed and that he will not be able to be in court to defend me on
Wednesday in Loughrea.
Under these circumstances (which are of
course completely beyond my control), it would be much appreciated if you
could contact the appropriate people in the court system to defer my being
taken before the courts until such time as I have a lawyer who is familiar
with my case to defend me.
As I mentioned to you this afternoon, I
feel I very badly need the services of lawyer who is willing to defend me
against the wrongful acts of public servants who are acting on behalf of
the State; and, that without such a lawyer, PLEASE NOTE that I am
TERRIFIED of appearing before the courts. It is PRECISELY because I was
unable to find such a lawyer that I did not attend the court in Loughrea
in October 2002. Unfortunately, and despite my best efforts during the two
years in between, I STILL cannot find such a lawyer. I do not see this as
my fault. I see it as the fault of the legal system in the Republic of
Ireland: which appears to be acting as an arm (or fist) of the Government
- with no regard for the tripartite separation of powers embedded in our
constitution.
I repeat, after searching for several years, both
before and after October 2002, I STILL CANNOT FIND A LAWYER WHO WILL
DEFEND ME AGAINST THE WRONGFUL ACTS OF PUBLIC SERVANTS ACTING ON BEHALF OF
THE STATE.
Please note that I have ALREADY provided Mr Geraghty and
Mr Egan with much written evidence over the past 23 months or so of
wrongful acts committed by public servants acting on behalf of the State:
and that much of this evidence can be seen on the pages of the three
Internet web sites listed below.
Later this evening, I plan to give
printed copies of this e-mail to Garda Tom Kenny, to my brother Mr Gerald
Finnerty, and to my half-sister Ms Margie Dolan.
With regard to the
request I have made in paragraph 2 above, I trust you will take full
account of the contents of the copies of the two letters I handed to you
this afternoon dated October 10th 2002 (from Mr Geraghty), and November
30th 2004 (to Mr Geraghty). Please note that the text of the November 30th
2004 letter sent through the registered post can also be seen at:
