Dear Dr McCavert,

Just after seeing you on Friday January 25th 2008, I happened by accident to come across the attached "do you know somebody" pamphlet produced by "The Northern Ireland Centre for Trauma & Transformation" (at the Reception Desk of the Health Centre).

On looking through the section with the "tick boxes" I found myself answering "yes" to almost all of the symptoms listed.

I later contacted The Centre and had a counselling session with Geraldine Kerr on Wednesday January 30th 2008, and at one point she suggested that I should try to make sure I let you know that I have been to see her regarding the pamphlet's contents.

The day after, I wrote to Geraldine Kerr (with some additional information relating to my legal case). Please find enclosed a copy of the e-mail I used, dated January 31st 2008, the contents of which are self-explanatory I feel.

Allowing for the recently discovered evidence that I might be suffering from prostate cancer, I am naturally having thoughts about making a start at putting my affairs in order; and, to do this I now very badly need to be able to visit my home in the Republic of Ireland, which I have not been to for over three years: and to do so without having to run the risk of being arrested and forced to appear before a kangaroo court (i.e. a sham legal proceeding, the outcome of which is essentially made in advance, for the purpose of providing a conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defence at all) - at a time when I am suffering from Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and which I have so far had almost no formal professional treatment for.

As I have mentioned to you and Gerry Madden (Senior Social Worker) on a number of occasions, I have great difficulty in seeing how I ever can benefit from formal treatment for C-PTSD: until after the legal abuse I am being subjected to has stopped, or there are clear signs that it is about to be stopped. At things stand, no such signs exist - at least none that I know of.

In the meantime, I've also had a letter from my half-sister Margie Dolan (dated January 27th 2008), in which she has made it clear that she feels unable to keep on providing me with financial support indefinitely. (On account of owning my own home in the Republic of Ireland, I am not eligible apparently for any means-tested social security benefits in Northern Ireland.)

As I have already mentioned to you, the monthly Euros 1,000 sums I have been receiving from my brother (Gerald Finnerty) and my half-sister now amount to a total of something in the region of Euros 26,000: and this has happened because I have so far failed to get "asylum seeker" status in Northern Ireland, even though the only reason I have been in Northern Ireland since December 2004 is to avoid the very direct consequences of unlawful legal and mental abuse (which could include imprisonment), at the hands of public servants in the Republic of Ireland.

Partly as a result of my half-sister's decision to "draw the line" (which is not seen by me as at all unreasonable of her allowing for the amount of money she has loaned me so far), I am thinking that I may now have to sell my home in the Republic of Ireland - which is yet another reason why I need easy access to the Republic of Ireland.

All things considered, I have come to the conclusion that my case really requires an immediate investigation now regarding the way the caring professions, and the legal profession, have been handling my affairs for the past several years: which, leaving aside the much appreciated efforts made by both yourself and Gerry Madden, strongly suggests that the very senior people involved with the administration of the caring and legal professions have no regard whatsoever for human rights law abuses involving Article 6 (Right to fair trial) and Article 13 (Right to an effective remedy) of The European Convention on Human Rights.

Two periods of hospitalisation in Northern Ireland (both directly linked with the Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder I am suffering from), and numerous meetings with Gerry Madden have all so far completely failed to produce the legal help I need (i.e. legal help which fully recognises the factual existence of human rights law).

To date, I have not even managed to find a lawyer who is willing to discuss my legal rights under The European Convention of Human Rights with me, let alone use them on by behalf to protect me from the psychological abuse I am being subjected to.

Also, and as it is still the case that I have never received any reply from Chief Justice Murray (or from any of his senior lawyer colleagues) to the registered letter reproduced at http://www.europeancourtofhumanrightswilliamfinnerty.com/ChiefJusticeMurray/28August2007/Letter.htm , I am not sure if any of the senior lawyers in question are even aware of the contents of the letter in question.

If it is possible for you to trigger an investigation into my case, I would be very grateful if you could do so as soon as you reasonably can please. Otherwise, perhaps you could advise me as to whom I should approach myself (for the purpose of initiating such an investigation).  

You may wish to note that I already attempted to launch an investigation of sorts myself in 2005, which far from helping me, just added to the general trauma I felt at the time (because the final, overall investigation results appeared so extremely questionable and disappointing to me). Further information on this particular aspect of my case can be found at http://www.constitutionofireland.com/ConvenorWH-SSB-7Feb2005.htm .

For your convenience, and in the hope it might make it more easy for you to communicate the growing difficulties of my situation to others who may be able and willing to help, I will place a copy of the text of this letter at the following Internet location later today:

Kind regards,
