Dear 
"
Rossport 5" Supporters,  
I hope the "honest cop" 
information below will be of use to all those who are trying to support the 
"Rossport 5" situation. 
Personally, I feel it's high time now that 
members of the legal profession - and the 
Minister for Justice Mr Michael 
McDowell TD in particular - were publicly challenged regarding the 
Aarhus 
Convention Agreement issue, and its obvious (but very conveniently and 
deeply buried) connection with ongoing events at Rossport: and challenged 
VERY 
HARD I'd say?  
Best wishes to you all, 
William 
Finnerty.

Dear 
Honest Cop, 
I wonder if you have ever considered the fact that the 
Republic of Ireland Government is breaking the law in really major ways 
regarding a whole string of environmental issues, and that it has been doing so 
for several years now - and all with the tacit approval and support of the legal 
profession? 
For example, the Republic of Ireland signed the 
United Nation Aarhus Convention Agreement in 1998, and has been 
COMPLETELY, and unlawfully, ignoring it ever since. 
The following 
piece of text is from the United Nations web site, and I wonder how you think it 
fits in with events over the past several years relating to Shell issues in the 
Rossport area? 
And, you might also ask yourself where are the lawyers who 
could be using the kind of information quoted below to help the people of 
Rossport to defend themselves - in the courts of law and 
elsewhere?
 "The Aarhus Convention is a new kind of 
environmental agreement. It links environmental rights and human rights. It 
acknowledges that we owe an obligation to future generations. It establishes 
that sustainable development can be achieved only through the involvement of all 
stakeholders. It links government accountability and environmental protection. 
It focuses on interactions between the public and public authorities in a 
democratic context and it is forging a new process for public participation in 
the negotiation and implementation of international agreements." (As you see for 
yourself, this piece of text has been taken from the following United Nations 
Internet location: 
http://www.unece.org/env/pp/ ) 
Please note also that it is 
not a question of the politicians, lawyers, and senior members of the Garda 
Siochana not knowing about the lawless and bizarre activities Republic of 
Ireland public officials and bodies are indulging themselves in (relating to the 
Aarhus Convention Agreement), because they have been reminded and asked 
questions about it on a number of occasions by myself. One (of many) examples of 
my efforts - over a period of several years - can be found at the following 
address:
http://www.finnachta.com/Hotmail24Oct2004/Euro52billion.htm     You 
may wish to take particular note of the fact that among those listed at the 
above address is 
Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy (Chief Commissioner of 
Police, Republic of Ireland) - who I understand actually comes from County 
Mayo.
