Letter to Eddie Holt
(Irish Times Journalist) by Vercingetorix
Tuesday, Jan 17 2006,
12:48pm "Dear Mr Holt, Some days ago
I was handed a copy of your recent article in
The Irish Times Weekend Review
(Saturday, January 7th 2006) on the now-opened "
SuperDump" in
Kilconnell (County
Galway), which is located near my home.
Though I feel your
article is in many respects extremely good, I am nonetheless very concerned by
the fact that it contains no mention at all of the
United Nations Aarhus
Convention Agreement which the
Republic of Ireland signed in
1998.
As you may not be aware of the extremely important link
- the BROKEN link that is - between the Kilconnell superdump, and the United
Nations Aarhus Convention Agreement, I would be very grateful if you could
please take note of the contents of the
January 15th 2006 Indymedia Newswire
publication I have reproduced below - which attempts to briefly explain the
important "broken link" in question, together with some of the extremely
negative and worrying social consequences closely associated with
it.
I also hope that your many other colleagues in the media
who this e-mail is being copied to will note the contents of the Indymedia
Newswire publication reproduced below as well.
You, and your
other media colleagues, may wish to note too that as a direct result of this
huge
Greenstar / National Toll Roads rubbish dump project, I have so far spent a
total of around 21 months living in forced exile (away from my home in County
Galway), in order to avoid being corruptly criminalised in connection with my
efforts to challenge the legality of the Kilconnell SuperDump; and, that in
spite of the very best efforts of myself,
Mr Gerard Madden (Senior Social
Worker, Omagh, Northern Ireland), and my
GP (Dr Michael McCavert), I remain
unable to find a lawyer who is willing to help me prepare my legal defence in
connection with the criminal offence I was charged with in 2002: which, as you
may already know, is a very straightforward and blatant violation of
Article 6
of
The European Convention on Human Rights Act 2003 (Republic of
Ireland).
In addition, the very severe and prolonged mental
torture I am being subjected to as a consequence of being deliberately
deprived of my legal rights under the European Convention of Human Rights - for
no good reason whatsoever that I know of - means that
The Criminal Justice
(United Nations Convention Against Torture) Act, 2000 (Republic of Ireland) is
also being blatantly violated in my case: all with the full knowledge (and
approval apparently) of
Minister for Justice Michael McDowell TD, and Northern
Ireland
Criminal Justice Minister David Hanson MP. (Full details of the letters
from Mr Madden and Dr McCavert sent to Minister McDowell TD and Minister Hanson
MP can be found in the list provided at
http://www.constitutionofireland.com/
.)
For future reference purposes, a copy of this e-mail will
be placed at the following address later today:

facilities will be made available at the above address.
Yours
sincerely,
William Finnerty
"St Albans"
New
Inn
County Galway
Republic of Ireland.
