              Dear Ms Flynn,
             
            
               
             
            
              Thank you for the e-mail you sent to
              me yesterday (copy reproduced below).
             
            
               
             
            
              For reasons that are unclear to me,
              keeping in mind all of the information which I have gradually
              added to two of my web sites over the past few years,
              it seems to me that your perception of the difficulties relating
              to Petition 809/2001 remains greatly
              over-simplified. 
             
            
               
             
            
            
            
              As you will know from your own records
              - or those of mine which appear on the Internet - I have
              tried on numerous occasions (using e-mails) to attract your
              attention to the efforts that are being made to resolve the difficulties
              connected with Petition 809/20021.
             
            
               
             
            
              Also, and again I am unsure as to why
              this is, it seems that you possibly have the false impression
              that I have unlimited time and money to spend on matters relating
              to Petition 809/2001; and that I can (somehow???) afford to keep
              going around and around in circles indefinitely from one
              government department to another collecting excuses (as I see
              them) as to why - for this reason or that (and always MY
              fault it seems) - they cannot help.
             
            
               
             
            
              In an effort to try and deal (as
              efficiently as I can allowing for the limited amount of time
              and money available to me in connection with Petition 809/2001
              matters) with the over-simplification problem referred to in
              paragraph 2 above, I have copied below a private e-mail (with
              names blotted out) that I sent yesterday to somebody I used
              to know years ago, and who now lives near Boston. The person
              in question contacted me fairly recently in connection with the
              possibility of getting himself involved with the restoration of
              what is an EXTREMELY important
              set of local heritage sites known collectively as "Woodlawn
              House". 
             
            
               
             
            
              It would be greatly appreciated if you
              and your colleagues - particularly the Ombudsman (whose
              name I do not know) - would take very careful note of the fact
              that Woodlawn House continues to be left in a state of more
              or less total neglect (to the very best of my knowledge). 
              Woodlawn House is just a few miles from where I live, and as I
              write it is literally falling to pieces (helped at times I am told
              by thieves and vandals):
              despite the fact that a representative of The
              Heritage Council (architect Ms Mary Hanna) visited Woodlawn
              House on Thursday October 18th 2001, and
              that she immediately afterwards met with several members of the Friends
              Of Woodlawn House Group - and related to them (in
              no uncertain terms) that she felt Woodlawn House was definitely
              worth trying to save.  Further and more detailed
              information regarding this particular matter, which is just ONE
              of SEVERAL local issues raised so far in
              connection with Petition 809/2001, can be seen at
              the following www page address:

              Allowing for what has been pointed out above,
              I would be very grateful if you and your colleagues at the
              Republic of Ireland Ombudsman's Office would consider leaving my
              file open please: until the European Parliament has fully
              dealt with Petition 809/2001.

              Thank you for the additional ideas you
              have sent regarding Woodlawn House.
             
            
               
             
            
              Sometime over the coming weekend I
              intend to combine the ideas you have related to me on this
              subject, and forward them to some of the other people who I know
              are keen to see Woodlawn House restored - and who are very loosely
              grouped under the "Friends Of Woodlawn House"
              (FOWH) banner. To begin with, I will leave out your contact
              information.  Later, and assuming that there are signs of
              significant interest from other members of the group regarding
              your ideas, it should (I think) be possible for me to put you in
              direct contact with most of them.
             
            
               
             
            
              In the meantime, I believe it might
              help if you were to familiarise yourself a little with a problem
              which I seem to keep bumping into:  TIME, AFTER TIME, AFTER TIME in
              connection with local community matters generally.  I believe
              this is particularly important if you (or friends and
              acquaintances of yours in the Boston area) were ever to start
              thinking of getting anyway deeply involved in the Woodlawn House
              restoration project.
             
            
               
             
            
              To save myself some time, and although
              certain parts of it are not at all relevant to Woodlawn House, I
              am simply going to copy an e-mail I sent yesterday to my cousin
              ******* ******* who lives in New Zealand. His mother and my
              father were brother and sister. Though it is unlikely that
              you would have ever met him I think (because he left Ireland many
              years ago), you almost certainly will remember several close
              relatives of his I believe. He is a brother of ***** and
              ******* - and both had several children who attended the
              primary school in New Inn. Also, the youngest member of their
              family (named *******) has lived in Boston for several years. Last
              but not least, *****'s wife (who is still alive and lives next
              door to my home in New Inn) is ******* *****'s aunt, and *******
              ***** (as you may already know) is the present owner of Woodlawn
              House.
             
            
               
             
            
              
              One final point: the "network of
              insidious people" I have referred to below, seems to be larger
              in number and greater in strength than anything I have come across
              before (at close quarters anyway), and it appears to be tightly
              and powerfully linked all the way from the parish-pumps, right up
              to Árus an Uachtaráin (official residence of the President
              of the Republic of Ireland).

                  As far as I know, the IR£10,000,000
                  fine THREAT is not a misprint.  Although
                  I have not looked into it carefully, I suspect that there is a
                  valid need for such laws (and associated threats) - as in
                  situations where there might be a requirement to deter
                  and prevent the bigger type of "cowboy" developers
                  and construction companies from taking huge liberties. However,
                  there was no large construction involved in our case;
                  just a gallon or so of paint and a few other bits
                  and pieces totalling well under IR£100. 
                 
                
                   
                 
                
                  
                  
                    Like all countries I know of, we here in Ireland have own network
                    of insidious people who will use (and abuse) anything
                    available to them, including the law, for their own selfish
                    purposes. The big problem for them with my sign (I
                    think) that is that it contains the address of a web site
                    which carries information they would like to keep hidden
                    from the general public, and which the traditional media
                    outlets here normally do keep hidden (for the most part). 
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    Part of my most recent response to these insidious people is
                    included further down this page, and basically it is an
                    inexpensive attempt to try and show them up to as many
                    people as possible (for as long as possible) all over the
                    world. Note the figure of "1.2 billion" that
                    appears a few times below: all be it a little bit off
                    the mark and out by the side of things. It would be
                    much better if it said 1.2 billion MEMBERS - instead of 1.2
                    billion RECORDS.  Still, my hope is that the very sight
                    of such big numbers might unsettle them a little.
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    I have often found that such people very quickly quit their
                    bullying behaviour when they know that they are being
                    watched. It remains to be seen what they will do on
                    this occasion. One thing is definite just now though:
                    the  www.finnachta.com
                    sign is still there on the wall (because I have not removed
                    it). 
                    
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    You will see as well that I have openly copied the
                    information below to myself several times.  What is
                    probably less obvious is that some of the computer
                    addresses I have used are amongst the most secure and most
                    tamper-free that the world has to offer: which means that
                    there is very strong evidence sitting there to help prove (if
                    needs be at a later date) that they were told, and that
                    they do know about what is going on.  Part of their
                    disgusting dishonesty and trickery is to say "they
                    didn't know because nobody told them; and that if they had
                    known they definitely would have done something about it;
                    but, how could they do anything if they didn't know
                    anything?" - and so on, and on, with all
                    their lies and their seemingly endless nonsense. 
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    In case you might be wondering, I genuinely do not know
                    exactly how many people would receive the e-mail I sent to
                    the " FINNERTY-L@rootsweb.com address. 
                    I know from the response I get though that the number must
                    be fairly large, and that there is a good spread on it as
                    far as reaching different parts of the world is concerned.   (One of
                    those who contacted me in the past is a commercial fisherman
                    from the New Zealand branch of the
                    "Finnerty" group. He spells his name in a
                    different way though - **********, if I remember rightly.)
                    
                  
                      
                   
                  
                    We are having another bad summer here. There is hardly
                    a day that it does not rain.  The good thing is
                    though that we get sunny spells almost every day as well,
                    together with some nice fresh breezes.  I often go for
                    long walks through the woods (sometimes near Gortlemon) with
                    a little abandoned dog I came across some time ago. 
                    She's mad about chasing birds, and never gives up trying her
                    heart out even though they are much too fast for her.
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    I saw one small account of one of the hammerings the Irish
                    Rugby team got.  Could it be they are not rightly
                    used to playing upside down I wonder?  It has to
                    put them at a serious disadvantage I'd nearly say?
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    I never saw your book. You mentioned it a few times
                    while you were writing it, but I did not know that it was
                    now in circulation. The next time I'm in Galway I'll
                    ask in one of the bookshops.  I'd love to read it.
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    Gerald and Margie seem to be okay.  I did not tell
                    them about the IR£10,000,000 fine threat until after I
                    received written confirmation from the police saying they
                    had received my letter to them of June 14th 2002.  (As
                    mentioned below in the "<<<PRESS
                    RELEASE>>>" section there is a
                    scanned copy of this police letter now on my web site.)
                   
                  
                     
                   
                  
                    Regards to all,
