Dear Oireachtas Member,
If you know of any good reason why
the international Aarhus Convention Agreement
signed on June 25th 1998 has not yet been "laid
before Dail Eireann", as required under
Article 29.5.1 of the Republic of Ireland
Constitution, it would be very much appreciated if you
could let me know of it please.
Further information relating to the
above question can be found below.
Yours sincerely,
William Finnerty.

Convention Agreement Update
+++++++++++++ With reference to the information
below, an application for Legal Aid has very
recently been submitted by a young law student which, it is
hoped, will speed up progress in connection with the matter of
having the international Aarhus Convention
Agreement (signed by the Republic of Ireland in
1998) "laid before Dail Eireann" -
as is required under Article 29 of the
Republic of Ireland Constitution.
The Aarhus Convention Agreement has
MAJOR implications for road projects such as
those planned for the Turoe (N6) and Tara
(M3) areas.
A copy of the Legal Aid Application
letter (dated November 3rd 2004) can now be seen
at:
Those planning to attend the
N6 An Bord Pleanala oral
hearing on this coming November 23rd in
Loughrea, may wish to know that the An Board
Pleanala inspector who ran the "Kilconnell
Superdump" oral hearing in Oranmore
(during February of this year) asked, in public, what the
Aarhus Convention Agreement was; APPARENTLY, HE
HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF
IT.

Everything you need to
know >>> Fw: Aarhus Convention Update
There is reason to believe that
some of the groups Greg
Casey sent his VERY interesting information to
yesterday might not have received it (please see copy of his
e-mail below).
Though the PDF file Greg Casey attached
to his e-mail is NOT included with this e-mail, both PDF and
HTML versions of it can be found by following the links provided
further down.
While the information below,
treated holistically, is likely to be of great interest
and use to everyone who is interested in keeping the general
environment healthy (materially and psychologically), it should be
particularly interesting for all those (such as myself) who
live in small communities which are being very severely
threatened by such things as SUPERDUMPS, INCINERATORS,
and NEW ROADS scheduled to go near or
through important heritage areas.
A few sample pieces of text, one
from the main text of the Aarhus Convention
Agreement, and one from a more recent DIRECTIVE
associated with it (supplied by Greg Casey) are provided
below:
1) "Member
States shall ensure that the public is given early
and effective opportunities to PARTICIPATE
in the preparation and modification or review of the plans or
programs required to be drawn up under the provisions listed in
Annex 1."
2) "
'The public' means
ONE or more natural or legal persons and, in
accordance with national legislation or practice, their
associations, organisations or groups."
Annex 1 (which is part
of the main Aarhus Convention Agreement text) makes specific and
significant mention of "Waste management" (e.g. the
Kilconnell and New Inn superdump
situations) and the "Construction of motorways and express
roads" (e.g. the new roads planned for the
Turoe and Tara
areas).
=== === ===
EVERYTHING you need to
know about the AARHUS CONVENTION AGREEMENT
- but, which the
Government, the "TRADITIONAL MEDIA",
and the vast majority of political
leaders ("public servants" ???),
APPARENTLY do not wish you to know ...
Please continue on down
...
