                  Dear Stiofan,
                
                   
                
                  I plan to formally write to 
                  my local law firm (Fair Murtagh) again soon regarding the 
                  criminally libellous e-mail (as I see it) which Ciaran 
                  MacLochlainn wrote about me on April 5th last - which is 
                  further referred to below.
                
                   
                
                  If you have any additional 
                  information to add to what Colm has sent me earlier today 
                  (please see below), I would very much appreciate it please.
                
                   
                
                  As you can see below, your name 
                  has been mentioned to me by Donal O'Bearra (Green Party 
                  Representative for the Galway area).
                
                   
                
                  
                  At this stage, I now feel I have 
                  to point out that the Green Party leadership appears to me to 
                  be trivialising this whole matter in a manner which is a 
                  source of growing concern for me.   
                
                
                   
                
                  I would like to stress that the 
                  matter of Ciaran Mac Lochlainn's libellous e-mail is most 
                  certainly NOT trivial to me. 
                
                   
                
                  I live in a community which has 
                  been under threat for several years now of being saddled with 
                  two huge rubbish dumps being located within a few miles of 
                  each other, and that is by no means our only local 
                  environmental problem. The situation is just as bad, if not 
                  worse, regarding the protection of some very important local 
                  heritage sites.
                
                   
                
                  Neither would the whole matter be 
                  trivial (I imagine ?) to Celtic Waste / Greenstar - who are 
                  planning to install one of the two rubbish dumps in question 
                  very soon.  Similarly with regard to the Bank of 
                  Ireland - who, as leader of an international group of banks, 
                  raised 100,000,000 Euros for Celtic Waste last year.  
                
                   
                
                  It may also be worth adding that 
                  there is a Bord Pleanala appeal decision due out on or before 
                  May 13th 2004 regarding the local Celtic Waste dump referred 
                  to above; and, that one of the things An Board Pleanala need 
                  to take account of is the matter of the alleged 50,000 EURO 
                  Celtic Waste bribe Trevor Sargent TD has already raised in the 
                  Dail with Minister Cullen TD. 
                
                   
                
                  Though the 50,000 EURO bribe 
                  was reported by me to the Police (by registered letter on 
                  March 31st 2004), I do not know if they are investigating it 
                  or not. To date, I have not received any reply from them.  
                  Further information on this particular aspect of this very 
                  disturbing overall situation can be found at:

                  at your earliest convenience please.

                  Billy,
                  Like many people in the party I have a number of 
                  responsibilities.  My involvement in this matter is in my 
                  role on the Rules and Procedures Subcommittee which is a 
                  subcommittee of the National Executive Committee.
                  I don't see that I have any role in accusations of libel.
                  As far as I am aware Ciaran MacLochlainn is still secretary of 
                  the East Galway
                  Green Party.
                  Regards,
                  Colm

                  Dear Colm,
                  
                  For legal reasons, and with reference to Donal O'Bearra's 
                  e-mail below (Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 10:13 PM), I would be 
                  very grateful if you could let me have answers to the 
                  following three questions please:
                  
                  a) What exactly was your pronouncement from the point of view 
                  of the Green Party's "Rules & Procedures" regarding what I see 
                  as the criminally libellous e-mail Ciaran Mac Lochlainn 
                  published concerning me on April 5th last?  (Please note 
                  that I was not aware until now - i.e. until I received the 
                  e-mail referred to in the paragraph above - of the existence 
                  of any such pronouncement from you, or from anyone else, in 
                  the Green Party.)
                  
                  b) What exactly is your job title, and your position in the 
                  Green Party?
                  
                  c) Is Ciaran Mac Lochlainn still Secretary of the East Galway 
                  Green Party? (As you will know, and for the reasons 
                  highlighted at the following Internet address, I believe 
                  Ciaran Mac Lochlainn should have been suspended immediately 
                  from his East Galway Green Party Secretary's position once 
                  senior members of the Green Party had been informed regarding 
                  his libellous e-mail of April 5th:
                  
                  http://www.finnachta.com/libel.htm )
                  I look forward to receiving answers to the above 3 
                  questions at your earliest convenience please.
                  
                  Kind regards,
                  
                  Billy Finnerty.
                  
                  PS: I will take this opportunity to point out that the 
                  registered letter to Trevor Sargent (regarding the April 5th 
                  2004 libellous e-mail) was sent last Friday, and that the 
                  text, plus a digital copy of the Post Office registered 
                  receipt, can now be seen at the following address:

                  Dear Billy,
 
 
                
                  The next NEC meeting is on June 26th and Colm O'Caomhanaigh 
                  has already pronounced on it from the point of view of the 
                  Rules & Procedures. I suggest that any further correspondence 
                  on the issue be addressed to Stiofan Nutty, General Secretary, 
                  5a Lower Fownes Street, Dublin 2. The chapter is closed as far 
                  as my involvement is concerned.
 
                
                  Regards
                  Donal O Bearra
                
                   
                
                
                  Dear Donal,
                  
                  I go along with your suggestion about passing on my complaint 
                  to the Rules & Procedures Committee of the Green Party and/or 
                  the National Executive Committee.
                  
                  Without wishing to be disrespectful to anyone in the Green 
                  Party, and at the risk of being accused of insulting people 
                  nonetheless, I believe the above mentioned action should have 
                  taken place within 24 hours of my e-mail dated April 6th 2004 
                  (Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 8:28 PM) - the contents of  
                  which can be viewed at the following internet page address:
                  
                  http://www.finnachta.com/FairMurtaghEmail6April2004.htm 
 
                  Please note that the above mentioned e-mail was copied to 
                  yourself, to Trevor Sargent (Party Leader), and to Mary White 
                  (Deputy Leader).
                
                   
                
                  Allowing for the wholly inappropriate delay in investigating 
                  the criminally libellous e-mail (as I see it) published about 
                  me by Ciaran Mac Lochlainn on April 5th last, which he copied 
                  to several other people, I hope the above Committee/s will now 
                  deal with the matter promptly, and that I will be informed of 
                  the outcome as soon as possible please.
 
                
                  In case there might be any doubt about it, please be aware 
                  that I am still very seriously considering taking legal action 
                  against Ciaran Mac Lochlainn, and the Green Party (for libel).  
                  I hope to be receiving further legal advice on the matter 
                  later this week.
                  
                  Kind regards,
