	Dear Ms Mahon, Thank you for your e-mail dated July 9th 2008 (reproduced below). As I trust you will understand, I am somewhat confused regarding the fact that there seems to be two people connected with the e-mail in question (i.e. yourself and Mr David King). At this stage, and now that the warrant for my arrest thankfully no longer exists, I believe it might be helpful (from my viewpoint at least) if there was somebody in your office, or perhaps a closely related office, who I could communicate directly with by e-mail regarding the core-issue fact that, despite much effort on my part, and a lot of help from a senior social worker in Omagh (Mr Gerard Madden), I have not succeeded (to date) in finding a lawyer -- anywhere on the Island of Ireland -- who is willing to discuss my legal rights with me in relation to the European Convention on Human Rights. As I have stated in my e-mail of July 6th 2008, a copy of which can be viewed at http://www.humanrightsireland.com/GeraldFinnerty/6July2008/Email.htm , I would now very much like to achieve full "closure" regarding the nightmare experience I have been put through during the past 10 years or so: through the use of Article 13 ("Right to an effective remedy") of the European Convention on Human Rights. However, and now that your office has acknowledged receipt of my July 6th 2008 e-mail, which I find helpful, I feel I would be prepared to consider any other alternatives (to the Article 13 one referred to in the paragraph just above) that the Republic of Ireland Government might be willing to offer me. For several reasons, not least the untreated medical problems I need to somehow (?) get proper treatment for as soon as possible, a quick settlement which avoided court action of any kind would (I believe) be advantageous to me: provided that any such settlement left me feeling that justice had been done in my particular case. From the viewpoint of I recovering from the psychological injuries caused by the so far untreated C-PTSD condition I now suffer with, all of the medical information I have been able to locate so far from the Internet suggests that the injuries in question will simply NOT heal: unless I can somehow end up -- as soon as I possibly can -- with a feeling that justice has been done. (Please note that I feel a very good start has already been made recently, by having the arrest warrant removed, which I greatly appreciate.) I feel I should also point out to you (and your colleagues) that I believe it would be extremely unwise for me (at the present time) to attempt to discuss any of the matters mentioned at the http://www.humanrightsireland.com/GeraldFinnerty/6July2008/Email.htm address with strangers on the telephone, or in face-to-face meetings of any kind: because of the "explosive anger" C-PTSD symptom I have unfortunately acquired in recent years. Fortunately however, I do not have any such problems at all with written communications; and, I further believe that if satisfactory progress could be made initially through the use of e-mails (towards reaching what I felt was a just overall settlement), then there might well come a time when the threat of "explosive anger" (coming from me) would disappear, and thus verbal communications -- should they ever be necessary to reach what I feel is a just settlement -- could commence. Yours sincerely, William Finnerty.
