Your Ref: 01/0459/MF

Dear Minister McCreevy,

I feel very grateful to you for the acknowledgement of receipt (dated June 22nd 2001) sent to me by Ms Hannah O' Riordan, and for the knowledge that the contents of my letter regarding the ESB Athenry/Portumna Electricity Supply Project have been noted in your Department.

It is very nice to know that a person in your kind of position is taking account of what ordinary voters such as myself have to say; and I believe there are a great many others who will feel the same.

With regard to all of the four major civil engineering projects being talked about at present for the East County Galway area, my hope now is that you and your Government colleagues will ensure that no monies are released (for the implementation of these projects) to organisations such as the Electricity Supply Board, the National Roads Authority, the Gas Board, and the Galway County Council (for the possible "Superdump for Connacht" project): until such time as you have satisfied yourselves that the laws relating to heritage protection will all be fully implemented and upheld by those responsible for carrying out whatever work is involved. 

With reference to the paragraph above, the two particular laws mostly on my mind are the ones listed below:

THE NATIONAL MONUMENTS (AMENDMENT) ACT, 1994 

THE HERITAGE ACT 1995

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I have received no feedback at all so far from the Garda Síochána regarding any of the heritage matters referred in my e-mail reminder to them of May 28th 2001 (which is reproduced at the www page address immediately below):
