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