What evidence is
there that any member of our legal profession knows or cares
anything about using the
European Convention on Human
Rights in connection with the practical matter of
applying it to protect our citizens from abuse of the kind
Niall
Harnett is being subjected to at the hands
of our public servants and public bodies?
I certainly
don't know of any.
If any of them did know, and did
care, I believe
Niall Harnett would
not now be in
JAIL.True, some members of our legal
profession do obviously know that our
"European
Convention on Human Rights Act 2003" is very good for
window-dressing purposes on the international
stage: but, how many of them are willing to even discuss this
particular
Act with their clients, let alone
use it for the purpose of protecting them?
I certainly
have never been able to find one; and, by way of providing an
example of the
EXTREME difficulties involved,
please note that I am still waiting for a reply from
Barrister John Glynn
(Principal Lawyer at
Patrick Hogan &
Co, Ballinasloe, County Galway, Republic of Ireland)
to the letter I sent to him through the registered post on
April 3rd 2007 in connection with the
ECHR Article 13 ("Right to an effective
remedy") issue I then wrote to him about. A copy of the letter
in question can be viewed at:
