National Development Plan (EUR
52 billion, Republic of Ireland)
++++++++++ MainText National Development Plan (Republic of Ireland) "The NDP is the largest and most ambitious investment
plan ever drawn up for Ireland. It involves an investment of over
EUR 52 billion of Public, Private and
EU funds (in 1999 prices) over the period
2000-2006. The Plan involves significant investment
in health services, social housing, education,
roads, public transport, rural development,
industry, water and waste services, childcare and
local development." ++++++++++ Had the
Aarhus Convention Agreement been ratified by the
Republic of Ireland, local communities would
be able to PARTICIPATE in decision
making regarding the way the above mentioned EUR 52
billion is spent.
Instead of lawfully
abiding by the clause in the Republic of Ireland Constitution which
states: "Every international agreement to which the
State
becomes a party shall be laid before Dail Eireann" (Article
29, Section 5, Point 1), it appears the Government has
VERY deliberately decided to
unlawfully keep all information about the
Aarhus Convention Agreement as far away from the public as it
possibly can. The Government has presumably done this so
that it can decide - all by itself - exactly how the
Eur 52 billion is spent.
Should more
people not be asking more questions about the outrageous situation
outlined above?
Is it not the case
that the Government is blatantly violating Bunreacht na
hEireann (i.e. the "Primary Law" of the Republic of
Ireland): for its own extremely selfish and wholly undemocratic
purposes?
Should the Government
of the Republic of Ireland be allowed to continue on breaking
the Primary Law of the
State indefinitely?
Is the
Government of the Republic of Ireland above the
law?
++++++++++ Further Information: "Although regional in scope, the significance of the Aarhus Convention is global. It is by far the most impressive elaboration of principle 10 of the Rio Declaration, which stresses the need for CITIZENS PARTICIPATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES and for access to information on the environment held by public authorities. As such it is the most ambitious venture in the area of environmental democracy so far undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations." (Kofi A. Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations - text taken from http://www.unece.org/env/pp/) "The Aarhus Convention is a new kind of
environmental agreement. It links environmental rights and
human rights. It acknowledges that we owe an obligation to
future generations. It establishes that sustainable
development can be achieved only through the
involvement of all stakeholders. It links
government accountability and environmental protection. It
focuses on interactions between the public and public authorities in
a democratic context and it is forging a new process for
public participation in the negotiation and implementation of
international agreements." (This piece of text is also taken

The Aarhus Convention Agreement The Århus Convention establishes a number of rights of the public (citizens and their associations) with regard to the environment. Public authorities (at national, regional or local level) are to contribute to allowing these rights to become effective. The Convention provides for:
