            Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 2:41 PM
 
            Subject: Loughrea District Court hearing on October 9th 2002.
 
          
          
 
            
          European Parliament reference: 
          Petition 809/2001. 
            
           
 
            
            
          Dear Mr Hamilton, 
            
          Thank you for your acknowledgement of 
          receipt for my letter dated September 21st 2002. 
            
          As your acknowledgement letter (dated 
          September 23rd 2002) makes no reference to the court hearing deferral 
          I requested in the final paragraph of my letter to you dated September 
          21st 2002, I assume that you wish the court hearing to go ahead on 
          October 9th 2002 as scheduled. 
            
          The text of my letter to you dated 
          September 21st 2002 can be seen at either of the following two www 
          page locations: 
          or 
            
          I have now decided to leave Ireland 
          sometime within the coming seven days, and consequently I will not 
          (unless I am forced to) be attending the District Court in Loughrea on 
          October 9th 2002. Even if I am forced to attend, it is not my 
          intention to say anything: other than refer to my written 
          correspondence relating to the matter - which I assume the judge will 
          have been given copies of beforehand.  Unless I am informed otherwise, 
          I will also assume I have a right to remain silent in court. 
            
          Also, I do not intend to return to Ireland 
          unless (and until) such time as the threat of imprisonment 
          regarding the summons initiated by Mr Hoey (of Galway County 
          Council) is removed - one way or another. 
            
          The big problem for me regarding the 
          threat of imprisonment is that, as a result of parental alcoholism, I 
          have suffered from depression since around 1950 (when I was a five 
          year old child); and, that at one point in fairly recent years, the 
          depression turned suicidal. I am deeply concerned that a prison 
          sentence connected with the charge of assault I am now being accused 
          of would - without ANY doubt in my view - bring on a relapse of that 
          same suicidal state of mind: probably within a very short period of 
          time.  
         
            
          In so far as I am aware, there is no cure 
          (as such) for the psychological damage caused by parental alcoholism.  
          To the very best of my knowledge (writing as a person who has been 
          receiving - since 1975 - the best-quality medical treatment for the 
          condition that I know of), all that people so afflicted can do is to 
          try to find ways around the psychological damage (as best they can).  
          Now that I have explained this, I hope I will not be hindered in any 
          way from doing what I feel is necessary 
          (within the law) for the purpose of protecting my mental health.  As 
          far as I know, there is nothing to prevent me coming and going as I 
          please to and from the Republic of Ireland at any time between now and 
          October 9th 2002 (the date of the court hearing); and I wish to stress 
          that, given reasonable notice, I am happy to return to Ireland at any 
          time: provided I have been given good reason to believe (in writing) 
          that there is no major risk to my mental health.  
         
          I feel I should also make it clear that I 
          will be doing all I can to return to Ireland as soon as I can - even 
          though I fully realise I may not succeed in achieving this goal.  
          Rightly or otherwise, it seems to me that the combined forces of big 
          business, big government, and big profits, are playing a major role in 
          sustaining the State corruption I have been attempting to challenge 
          here for the past four years or so; and that those who 
          benefit from State corruption fully intend to continue acting 
          "stone-deaf" in regard to everything they do not wish to listen to: 
          regardless of the legal rights and the valid needs of ordinary 
          citizens such as myself. It appears to me as though the elitist groups 
          in question have hi-jacked important areas of the law embedded in our 
          written Constitution - in such a way that they arrogantly believe they 
          can break the law themselves (as and when they please), and at the 
          same time force others to abide by it - just as it suits their own 
          self-indulgent purposes: STATE CORRUPTION - in other 
          words.  Please be aware that I feel under no legal or moral obligation 
          whatsoever to go along with ANY of the illegal activities connected 
          with State corruption; and, quite the opposite, that I feel I have a 
          personal responsibility (within reason) to be as difficult as I 
          possibly can be in opposing and disrupting all such behaviour.  
            
          Health Minister Micheal Martin T.D. was 
          informed of the problems with suicidal depression in my family in 
          Section 12 (page 4) of my letter to him dated July 27th 2000.  As has 
          been related in earlier correspondence (now on some of my Internet 
          pages), copies of my letter dated July 27th 2000 to Minister Martin 
          were also sent (in the weeks following July 27th 2000) to a number of 
          other people which includes: Prime Minister Ahern, President Mary 
          McAleese, Mr. Kenneth Murphy (Director General of the Law Society of 
          Ireland), and Dr. Anne Jeffers (Consultant Psychiatrist, Western 
          Health Board).  
            
          In the case of Dr Jeffers, printed copies 
          of some of my recent e-mails (including the one to you dated September 
          21st 2002) have been sent to her by hand through my brother and 
          half-sister and the psychiatric nurse (Mr William Ward) who visits 
          them every two weeks.  Though I have not heard anything from Mr Ward 
          or Dr Jeffers, I assume nevertheless that they know about the present 
          set of family difficulties connected with the possibility of I being 
          imprisoned in connection with Mr Hoey's complaint. 
          I would like to take this opportunity to 
          point out that I have still heard nothing from anybody at the European 
          Union/Parliament in response to the written requests for help I have 
          sent to them through the registered post during the past several 
          months.  It now seems to me that my registered letters might never 
          have reached their intended destinations within the various bodies and 
          institutions of the European Parliament/Union:  as a result of some 
          kind of unlawful activity connected with corruption (of one kind or 
          another).  Consequently, I further believe that this matter should now 
          be fully investigated by the police, and that a copy of their finished 
          report should be given to the judge well in advance of he/she hearing 
          my case.  Scanned copies of the relevant Post Office receipts can be 
          seen on several of my Internet pages - such as (for example) those at 
          the following location:http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/GRECO/e-mail_Mar-25-2002.htm
 
            
          I would also like to
          point out that I have heard nothing to date from the 
          police, or from Galway County Council, regarding the information I 
          requested from them in connection with signs (other than mine) which 
          Mr Hoey deals with in the course of his work with Galway County 
          Council. Further information regarding this point can be found in 
          Section A of my letter to you dated September 21st 2002. 
            
          I intend to keep in contact with my 
          brother and my half-sister while I am away from Ireland, and 
          consequently the same postal address as before should be used for me 
          (as given below). 
            
          Also, I hope to check for e-mails each day 
          at my Eircom e-mail address (also provided below). 
            
          Sincerely, 
            
            
            
            
          Mr. William Finnerty. 
            
          POSTAL ADDRESS:  "St 
          Albans", New Inn, Ballinasloe, County Galway, Republic of Ireland.
