Dear Gerry,
Please find below the information we discussed
yesterday.
==========================
1)
General background information connected with my "crime" can be found at the
following
Indymedia "comment" location:

A scanned copy of
Summons 116403 I was handed by Garda Tom
Kenny can be seen at the following address - please note this was the
2nd
Summons I received from him, and that the first (and much milder) one was
scrapped for reasons unknown to me.

The second summons I received involved the
NON-FATAL OFFENCES AGAINST THE
PERSON ACT, 1997. This Act (in full) can be seen at:
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1997_26.html I
was charged under
Section 2, which can be seen at:
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA26Y1997S2.html 4)
In the days before the court hearing I sent 5 registered letters relating to my
case through the registered post on
September 7th 2002 - details can be
seen at:
http://www.finnachta.com/11Sept2002_.htm A
further five letters were sent by me on
September 21st 2002 - details of
which can be seen at:
http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/21Sept2002_.htm 5)
As I did not receive any reply from any of the people I wrote to (i.e. using the
letters referred to at the 2 Internet addresses immediately above), I left
the Republic of Ireland - as I informed them I would - and stayed mostly in
Shrewsbury (England) from
October 2002 to
May 2003. I
returned to Galway after being assured by a lady counsellor in
Shrewsbury, provided by my
GP there (
Dr. Jacque Maurice),
that it would be entirely safe for me to do so. Efforts to get the legal
help I sought in England had all failed by then; and, at one point, when nothing
else seemed to be working, I even sought help from
Prime Minister Blair
and
Mrs Cherie Blair QC (both lawyers of course) - details can be found
via the following address:
http://www.finnachta.com/PrimeMinisterBlair.htm Perhaps
it might be worth stressing at this point that Cherie Blair QC is, as I
understand it, one of the UK's leading human-rights lawyers, and that she is
frequently described as such in the media.
Though I did receive a
written reply from
10 Downing Street, it contained no mention of the
"
human rights" lawyer I sought - as can be seen in the scanned copy of
the reply at:
http://www.finnachta.com/PrimeMinisterBlairsReply.htm 6)
A copy of my letter to
Mr Geraghty - some days after I had
been thrown out of
Omagh Hospital by
Dr Foster, entirely
against my wishes, and with no provisions whatsoever for finding the legal
help I desperately sought, can be seen at:
http://www.constitutionofireland.com/FairMurtaghEmail21Dec2004.htm I
never received any reply from Mr Geraghty to the latter at the Internet address
immediately above - which was sent to him through the registered post (as can be
seen at above
address).
==========================
Please note that
if you think it might help to speed up the process of finding a just solution to
my growing difficulties, I have no objections at all to you forwarding this
e-mail to the
Garda Siochana before you go to see them in
Galway next week - or to
ANYONE else for that
matter.
Should you require more information from me relating to the
above please let me know.
Best
wishes,
William.
