To: Assistant Police Commissioner (Galway area)
Cc: Mr. Justice Thomas Smyth ; Mr. Declan Ivory (Head of Eircom Operations and Delivery) ; Police Commissioners Office
Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2001 4:45 PM
Subject: Dúchas (The Irish Heritage Service)

Dear Assistant Commissioner Keating,

Thank your letter dated 07/08/01. 

I am very pleased to learn that the heritage matters I have informed you about in my e-mail correspondence have been passed on by The Garda Siochana to Dúchas (The Irish Heritage Service); and, that you are waiting for a report from them.

Please note that I sent an e-mail to Dúchas myself on March 16th 2000 (for the purpose of seeking help regarding local heritage matters); and that later the same day I also sent a printed copy of the e-mail in question (containing a hand-written note at the bottom) through the registered post to them.  It was addressed as follows:

The Heritage Service
51 St. Stephen's Green
Dublin 2.

The number of the registration slip associated with the above mentioned letter to Dúchas is:
RR 2402 3912 5IE

An A3 size copy of the March 16th 2000 letter to Dúchas, together with the original Post Office registration slip, have been on public display in one of the front windows of my brother's business premises here in New Inn village for the entire period since March 16th 2000;  and, both items are still on display in the same location.

When - after a period of some SEVEN MONTHS or so - the above communications to Dúchas failed to produce any useful practical results (that I could see), I tried to follow up on the matter by writing to Prime Minister Ahern on October 11th 2000.  A copy of the letter I wrote to Prime Minister Ahern on October 11th 2000 can be seen at the www page address immediately below:
http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/chaplefinnerty/letters7/oct-11-2000.htm

The letter of October 11th 2000 to Prime Minister Ahern referred to in the paragraph above was followed by another a few weeks later (dated October 26th 2000): a copy of which can be seen at www page address:
http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/chaplefinnerty/letters1/oct-26-00.htm

In your investigations, it would be much appreciated if you could take full overall account of all of the above information please.

Sincerely,

Mr. William Finnerty.

Several months AFTER the above mentioned letters to Dúchas of March 16th 2000, and the two later ones of October 11th and 26th 2000 to Prime Minister Ahern, the "prehistoric hurling field" (or whatever it was ?) beside the Hill of Grange near New Inn was completely destroyed (during the early part of April 2001): for no good reason that we know of.

For additional information please see:
"Before and after" photographs of the destroyed site between
the Hill of Grange and the ancient (and highly historic) Esker Riada ridge
