Subject: "Missing or unaccounted for" registered letters to The European Parliament ???

Hans,

As I mentioned to you last evening, I went to the Police Station in Ballinasloe yesterday and reported ONE of a number of ongoing difficulties I am having in connection with registered letters I have sent to the European Parliament in recent months.

The matter I reported yesterday in the Ballinasloe Garda Station referred to the registered letter I posted on December 21st 2001 to Mr. David Lowe.  A scanned copy of the registration receipt for the letter in question can be seen roughly half way down the following www page address:
http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/SATURNALIA/Dec_21st_2001.htm

Despite numerous requests which I have made to the Post Office here in Ireland, I cannot find out the DATE that the registered letter I sent to Mr. Lowe was delivered. Consequently, I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS PARTICULAR LETTER EVER WAS DELIVERED. The Post Office people I have sought help from include Mr. Garry  Noone (at the main Post Office in Ballinasloe), Ms Anita Bergin (Customer Services - Letter Post
at the Area Office in Naas), and Mr. Michael Sullivan at the GPO (General Post Office) in Dublin.

The Ballinasloe Garda I spoke with yesterday told me his surname was Connellan, and parts of my interview with Garda Connellan were witnessed by another uniformed officer who I understand was Sergeant Nickolson.

Garda Connellan entered notes of my visit into his counter log-book (on pages 419 and 420 I think), and stapled on a copy of an A4 sheet I gave him containing a photocopy of the December 21st 2001 registered receipt for my letter to Mr Lowe.  I specifically requested that the police investigate this matter, and I made it clear that I suspected the difficulty I was reporting was the outcome of political corruption of one kind or another: as generally referred to in my e-mail to the Post Office's Michael Sullivan dated January 15th 2002 - the contents of which can now be viewed at www page address:
http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/ms.htm

As I recall it, Garda Connellan informed me at one point during my interview with him that someone from Ballinasloe Police would begin an investigation today (that is February 5th 2002) - with a visit by a police officer to Ballinasloe's main Post Office. 

Unfortunately, the particular difficulty I reported to Garda Connellan yesterday is not the full story.  To date, I have not received any reply at all from two letters I have sent through the registered post to EU Commissioner Ms Margot Wallström. In addition to the registration receipt which appears on the above mentioned "Saturnalia" www page of December 21st 2001, there is another one at the following page address (for a letter I sent I to Ms Wallström on November 27th 2001):
http://www.finnachta.com/eu-env-comm-m-wallstromm.htm

As I have heard nothing at all from Ms Wallström regarding the two registered letters I sent to her (referred to above), I am inclined to believe that she must NOT have received either of them.

If it is the case that Ms Wallström has received one or both of my two letters to her, then there is still a major problem for me, because: having due regard for the extremely serious nature of some of the contents of these two letters, and the very responsible paid-work position Ms Wallström holds within the European Union, it seems to me that she should NOT be leaving me wondering whether or not she is aware of the difficulties I have taken the time, the expense, and the trouble to write to her about.

Should it prove to be the case that Ms Wallström is responding to my letters in the way referred to in the paragraph above, then I wish to make it clear now to all concerned that I would view such behaviour as an extremely serious form of psychological abuse: and I would hope to receive a written apology from her personally without delay. 

In a more general way, I would also see such behaviour as a very disappointing (and worrying) extension - out of the Republic of Ireland, and into the European Union - of some very similar psychological abuse I feel I have been subjected to by several senior politicians (and a few very senior lawyers as well) here in the Republic of Ireland.

As can be seen from several of my Internet pages, the Irish people I refer to in the paragraph above have been informed several times about the major environmental difficulties in the East Galway area (where I live), and in spite of this many of them continue to act as though they know nothing whatsoever about the extremely serious problems I have tried to relate to them.  As I see it, ignoring people in this way, and for so long, is a form of extreme psychological violence: and, writing as a person who has been at the receiving end of some very large measures of it over a period of several years now, I have come to believe that it is just as disrespectful and abusive (and worse in certain respects) as physical violence.

Much has been made in recent years of child abuse (and quite rightly in my view).  However, it appears that what I have come to see (and to feel) as "adult abuse" continues to be completely ignored.  Perhaps the time has now come when The Green Party might usefully consider extending its manifesto for the General Election of May 2002 into the non-material (yet extremely important) area of "psychological pollution" ?  Particularly the type that appears to have given rise to what I see as the more ugly and arrogant forms of ongoing "establishment corruption" which have now made their unhealthy effects felt in a wide range of ways in The Republic of Ireland?

As this e-mail contains some information which relates to the two "missing or unaccounted for" registered letters to Ms Wallström which I did not discuss during my interview with Garda Connellan yesterday, I intend to send a printed copy of it to Superintendent Gunther at Ballinasloe Police Station later today.  As you may be aware, Superintendent Gunther is mentioned under the leading headline on the front page of this week's Connacht Tribune Newspaper (dated February 1st 2002).  The article in question refers to threats of physical violence sent through anonymous letters to some people living in my area who have been objecting to a super dump which a company called Celtic Waste plans to construct here.  (Some of the difficulties with the local Celtic Waste super dump were mentioned in paragraph four of the letter referred to above dated November 27th 2001 to Ms Wallström.)

It would be much appreciated if you would consider forwarding this e-mail to any of the contacts you have on mainland Europe who you feel might be able to help.

Best regards,

Billy (Finnerty).
