What news on the "Aarhus Convention Agreement"
front?by
Constitutional Spirit Sat Jan
30, 2010 10:19 If our
Government (
Executive, Legislative, and
Judicial )
had dealt with the international
United Nations
Aarhus Convention Agreement -- which it voluntarily
signed up to in
1998 -- in the
way that
Article 29.5.1
of our written
Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann)
requires of it, all (or almost all) of these "environmental"
problems could (I believe) have easily and lawfully been
avoided by wholly peaceful, responsible, and socially benign
means: because the local people would have been able to
legally force the "
local elected madmen"
(as "The Green Spirit" at Thu Jan 28, 2010 16:35 has put it)
to toe-the-line regarding their all too often unrestrained
and frequently
tyrannous
behaviour.

Luckily, it's still not too late to put lawful pressure
on
our Government to deal responsibly with
regard to:
1) our
Constitution, and
2) the
fact that it signed the international
Aarhus
Convention Agreement almost
twelve years
ago: and then slyly
hid it all from public view
(with the help of their friends in the
media) ever since, so that they
could all do as they pleased with our environment
nationwide.
Perhaps this new "
Save Newgrange"
issue could become, among other things, both the "
spur"
and the "
lever" to stop the
cultural
genocide that our extremely arrogant,
ignorant and perverse "local elected madmen" (and our
nationally elected ones too I would argue) appear to have
become so addicted to: by forcing the Aarhus Convention
Agreement to
"be laid before Dail Eireann" -- as required
by
Article 29.5.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann -- without any
further ado, without any further unlawful and socially
destructive violations of our Constitution, and without any
further violations of the basic legal rights of the overall
citizenship of the
Republic of Ireland?
Enough is enough, and we've all had enough of it now
from our "
public servants" (so called) I'd
nearly say? -- at this point in the dying days of our
greed-ridden,
corruption-ridden, and now
debt-ridden
"Celtic Tiger".
