QUESTION: "Who has given the
legal profession in
the
Republic of Ireland the authority to
COMPLETELY abandon
this core safety-mechanism (the "
Doctrine of the Tripartite Division of
Powers of Government"), which lays at the heart of
Bunreacht na
hEireann (Constitution of the Republic of
Ireland)
?".

E-mail to
Minister for Justiceby W. Finnerty. Mon Jul 16, 2007
09:16An e-mail was sent last Friday (i.e. July 13th
2007) to
Brian Lenihan TD, Minister for Justice, Equality and Law
Reform.
In an effort to draw attention to the corruption problem
discussed on this Indymedia thread (i.e.
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75631 ), the e-mail was
titled:
"Hill of Tara, Mountain of Corruption
..."The full
text of last Friday's e-mail, which was copied to several other senior lawyers
and politicians, can be viewed at the following address:

.
As can be seen at the above location, former
President Mary
Robinson (Republic of Ireland) was included among the
addressees.
"Now based in New York, Mary Robinson is currently leading a
new project, the
Ethical Globalization Initiative (EGI). Its goal is to
bring the norms and standards of human rights into the globalization process
..." (The full text of this EGI article can be read at
http://www.realizingrights.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=75
. )
Unfortunately, it seems Mary Robinson is at present focussing her
attention and efforts on Africa (according to the above report). Nevertheless,
it is hoped that she might spare a few moments of her time thinking about
Ireland, and the human rights abuses connected with the Hill of Tara
situation.
Personally, I believe that wilfully destroying peoples'
archaeological heritage, especially when it involves a primary site like the
Hill of Tara, is an
extremely serious violation of human rights.
What, for example, could be more demeaning to the memory and
appreciation of our ancient ancestors, and the direct blood-line (and potent
genetic links) so many of us will undoubtedly have with them?
