Dear Mr Mackell,

RE: THE ISSUES YOU HAVE RAISED IN YOUR LETTER TO ME DATED FEBRUARY 9th 2017

Thank you for your letter dated February 9th 2017, a scanned copy of which I have placed at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/NorthernIrelandLawSociety/9February2017/Letter.htm

In the copy of your February 9th 2017 letter to me at the www location just above, you have referred to correspondence of mine received by you dated "January 20th 2017". Please know that I did not send any correspondence to The Northern Ireland Law Society dated January 20th 2017. In case that somebody might have sent you a fake letter dated January 20th 2017 purporting to be from me, please know that the only letter I have sent to The Northern Ireland Law Society through the Royal Mail Postal Service in January 2017 is the letter dated January 28th 2017; and, that I have placed a scanned copy of that letter, together with scanned copies of the associated Royal Mail receipt and "Proof of Delivery" note at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/NorthernIrelandLawSociety/28January2017/ScannedRegisteredLetter.htm

In connection with the matters you have raised in your February 9th 2017 letter, I wish to reply to you in the manner set out below. 

===   ===   ===

1) I do not know what the text of "Article 3(2) of the Solicitors (NI) Order 1976" actually is. I have found a number of references to "Article 3(2) of the Solicitors (NI) Order 1976" using Google www searches; but, so far, I have failed to find the actual text of "Article 3(2) of the Solicitors (NI) Order 1976". Consequently, I feel  unable, at the present time, to comment on my present situation, as it relates to "Article 3(2) of the Solicitors (NI) Order 1976".

===   ===   ===

2) Before my appointment with Ms Louise Moley LL.B on October 19th 2015, I had already received written legal advice from Ms Anne Marie Featherstone LL.B LL.M, who, at the time, was a colleague of Ms Moley at what was then the law firm of McGuigan Malone Solicitors. Evidence of the written legal advice I received from Ms Featherstone can be viewed in the scanned copy of her letter to me dated October 15th 2015 at the following www location:  
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/McGuiganAndMalone-LawFirm/15October2015/Letter.htm

Having completed her advice to me regarding the particular legal matter I saw her about on October 12th 2015, which related to "unsecured loans" of mine, I then asked Ms Featherstone for help with the other legal difficulties I needed assistance with. After some brief discussion and thought relating to the nature of the difficulties in question, Ms Featherstone then advised me to make an appointment to see Ms Moley, which I did very shortly afterwards. Assuming I understood Ms Featherstone correctly, she believed Ms Moley had more and better experience of dealing with the kind of legal problems I needed help with, than she herself did.

===   ===   ===

3) The main purpose of my appointment with Ms Moley on October 19th 2015 was, as indicated by the contents of the "set of six" A4 "discussion sheets" I took with me to the meeting, and left with Ms Moley at the end of the meeting, to "instruct" her -- i.e. "to make her aware of”,  in as holistic a way as my sixty minute appointment with her allowed -- of  the overall set of difficulties referred to under the "Page 1 to 6" sub-sections I have placed below.

 Copies of the "set of six" A4 "discussion sheets" in question were included in my letter to you dated January 28th 2017 (referred to above) in the plastic holder marked H3. Copies of the "set of six" A4 "discussion sheets" can also be viewed at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/McGuiganAndMalone-LawFirm/19October2015/MeetingDiscussionNotes.htm

===

"Page 1 of 6"  (Copy of "To Whom It May Concern" letter dated October 28th 2005, written by my former GP, Dr Michael McCavert):
 
My "symptoms and behaviours are the result of traumas and stresses over years and these traumas and stresses have come at the hands of individuals and public officials and bodies that he has encountered in his struggles to correct environmental wrong doings" ... "not being able to get legal representation" ... "has been refused legal aid as well" ... "has got PTSD Complex as a result of all his trauma" ... "has been through enough and needs support and understanding for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)".

Allowing for the excerpts in the paragraph immediately above, I have long believed that I am entitled to financial compensation for what I see as the avoidable and extremely serious "years" of criminal abuse " at the hands of individuals and public officials and bodies" which Dr McCavert GP has referred to in his "To Whom It May Concern Letter" of October 28th 2005, which is now well over 11 years ago. I have also long believed that I should have been provided with medical treatment for the PTSD condition I continue to suffer from, of the kind that professional therapists who are trained and qualified to help people suffering from PTSD can provide.

In connection with the two matters raised in the paragraph immediately above, please know that a) I have never had any financial compensation for the very damaging PTSD types of psychological injuries I continue to suffer very severely from, and, b) that I have never received any help from a qualified professional therapist who has been trained to help people suffering from PTSD. My hope was that Ms Moley might, given time to consider my overall situation in a holistic way, be able to help me to remedy these two matters.

===

"Page 2 of 6" (Copy of handwritten note to lawyer Brendan Glynn dated April 15th 2015):

For several years now, all of the three main branches -- Executive, Legislative, and Judicial -- of the Republic of Ireland's Government appear to me to be blatantly ignoring their duties in a number of very important ways, some of which directly involve myself, in connection with THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. I had hoped Ms Moley might, given time to consider my overall situation in a holistic way, advise me as to how I might best go about dealing with this ongoing situation: having due regard for the fact that the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are both full members of the European Union.

===

"Page 3 of 6" (Article 47 of the CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION):

I had hoped Ms Moley might, given time to consider my overall situation in a holistic way, advise me on how I could best go about achieving the "Right to an effective remedy" referred to under Article 47 of THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.

By the time of my October 19th 2015 appointment with Ms Moley, I had already tried very hard in the Republic of Ireland, over a period of several years, to find legal representation of the kind which supported, in practical ways, the kind of legal help that Article 47 provides for. Unable to find such "European Union" sourced legal help in the Republic of Ireland, it has never seemed inappropriate to me to seek Article 47 type legal help in a different member-state of the European Union, such as, for example, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I feel this is particularly true if due regard is given to the fact that my home is located in the Republic of Ireland; and, that my present stay in Newry (which began in July 2015) is my third lengthy period (since 2002) of having to live in "forced exile" outside the Republic of Ireland jurisdiction: for the sole purpose of trying to avoid being corruptly criminalised, and possibly imprisoned, in the Republic of Ireland, in connection with false claims that I have committed crime in the Republic of Ireland.

Some evidence of my attempts to communicate my efforts, and the ongoing difficulties I have been experiencing with people in the Republic of Ireland regarding the matter of I finding "Article 47" type legal help, can be found via the following three www search-engine listings:

a) Republic of Ireland Lawyer Brendan Glynn, Article 47 of THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, William Finnerty:
https://www.google.ie/?gws_rd=ssl#q=+Lawyer+Brendan+Glynn%2C+Article+47+of+THE+CHARTER+OF+FUNDAMENTAL+RIGHTS+OF+THE+EUROPEAN+UNION%2C+William+Finnerty:

b) Republic of Ireland Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald TD (Case Reference 0724094243), Article 47 of THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, William Finnerty:

c) Republic of Ireland Chief Justice Susan Denham, Article 47 of THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, William Finnerty:

"Page 4 of 6" ("Right to asylum", Article 17 of THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION):

In the belief that a warrant for my arrest was issued in the Republic of Ireland on July 8th 2015, as has been related to me by close relatives living in the Republic of Ireland, I have been living in Newry (Northern Ireland) since then. Initially, it was my intention was to formally seek asylum in Northern Ireland under the terms of Article 17 of THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION).

Please know though that I have never been provided with any tangible evidence by the Republic of Ireland authorities that a warrant for my arrest really does exist in the Republic of Ireland. I did send a letter through the registered post to the Clerk of Loughrea District Court (Ms Josie Mulherin) and the presiding judge (Judge Geoffrey Browne) on July 9th 2015 requesting clarification of what my brother (Gerald Finnerty) had related to me on the phone regarding the July 8th 2015 court hearing. However, I have never received any reply of any kind from anybody connected with Loughrea District Court (County Galway, Republic of Ireland), or from anybody connected with Judge Geoffrey Browne. A scanned copy of my July 9th 2015 registered letter can be viewed at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/LoughreaDistrictCourt/9July2015/ScannedRegisteredLetter.pdf

The lack of tangible evidence regarding the arrest warrant my brother informed me about over the telephone, on the evening of July 8th 2015, was another aspect of my situation which I believed Ms Moley might, given time to consider my overall situation in a holistic way, be able to help me to remedy.

===

"Page 5 of 6" ("As an asylum applicant in the UNITED KINGDOM, you have a right to ..."):

Among other things, the "circled text" on "Page 5", as it appeared some weeks before July 8th 2015, and for some weeks after July 8th 2015, and which was from a UK Government web site, strongly suggested to me the possibility of general support in Northern Ireland that included legal representation, which I still feel very badly in need of, just as I did on October 19th 2015. As my own efforts up to October 19th 2015 had failed to find “Article 47” type legal representation, I had hoped Ms Moley might, given time to consider my overall situation in a holistic way, be able to provide me with it.

===

"Page 6 of 6" (Citizens Advice Bureau):

As I did not know the original source of the information provided for me by Ms Anne Burns at the Newry Citizens Advice Bureau, I had hoped Ms Moley, in her capacity as a professional lawyer, would a) confirm the correctness of the information, and b), assuming Ms Burns information was correct, that she might be able, given the time to consider my overall situation in a holistic way, to help me find a manner of dealing with the "funding for Immigration case workers" stoppage Ms Burke had informed me about on August 4th 2015.

===   ===   ===

4) ADDITIONAL POINTS RELATING TO SECTION 3 ABOVE:

a) I feel it might be important for me to now point out to you that Ms Moley readily accepted, without resistance or objections of any kind, the "set of six" A4 sheets I left with her at the end of my appointment with her October 19th 2015. Consequently, I felt Ms Moley had fully accepted my instruction, and that I was then a client of hers.

b) Notes I made on the day after my October 19th 2015 appointment with Ms Moley, i.e. on October 20th 2015, contain the following text: "She (Ms Moley) has to think about the things we discussed, and to discuss some of them with her lawyer colleagues".

c) It was my belief that after discussing my overall situation with her lawyer colleagues, and after giving some careful thought to the whole overall set of legal issues involved, that Ms Moley would then write to me for the purpose of informing me regarding the matter of how best the above-mentioned set of legal matters might be dealt with. Allowing for the range and the nature of the difficulties involved, which included several instances of wrongdoing by public officials and bodies, I was expecting that it might be some considerable time before I received the letter I believed would follow my meeting with Ms Moley on October 19th 2015. Also, I anticipated that her letter to me would be written on McGuigan and Malone Solicitors headed notepaper, and that it would be personally signed by Ms Moley: as in the manner, for example, that the letter I had earlier received from Ms Anne Marie Featherstone, referred to in Section 2 above, was personally signed by Ms Featherstone.

d) The "no live matters" message from McGuigan and Malone Solicitors to me dated May 16th 2016, which you have referred to in your February 9th 2017 letter to me, was not signed by anybody at McGuigan and Malone Solicitors, as can be seen on the scanned copy at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/McGuiganAndMalone-LawFirm/16May2016/Letter.htm

e) At no point, up to the time McGuigan and Malone Solicitors closed down, which I understand was on November 1st 2016, have I any recollection of anybody connected with McGuigan and Malone Solicitors ever informing me -- by any means, verbal or written -- that I was not a client of McGuigan and Malone Solicitors.

f) When I spoke on the telephone to Ms Moley during my November 11th 2015 to December 15th 2015 stay at the Canal Court Hotel (Newry), for the purpose of seeking help with issues arising from the murder attempt on my life which took place on the afternoon of November 16th 2015, she actually offered to help me, and never said anything whatsoever to me that would even remotely suggest I was not a client of hers. Evidence of my stay at the Canal Court Hotel can be viewed at the following www location:   
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/NorthernIrelandHousingExecutive/17December2015/CanalCourtHotelReceipt-16Dec2015.pdf

As noted on the Canal Court receipt at the www address just above, several of the telephone calls I made from Room 215 have not been individually listed on the receipt. Nevertheless, hotel staff assured me on a number of occasions during my stay that, if it ever it became necessary, the telephone service provider used by the Canal Court Hotel would be able to provide precise and detailed information on all of the external telephone calls I made during my stay at the hotel, using the Canal Court telephone in Room 215.

5) RE: Your question "Why did you make contact with another solicitor in or around March 2016?"

'After receiving your email of March 1st 2016 (referred to above), and allowing for the "maximum of a further two weeks" time-limit (set by Patsy Heaney) that is mentioned in it, I decided to try and get professional legal advise as soon as I possibly could on the matter; and, I succeeded in getting an appointment with Aoife McShane (Lawyer) at "McShane Solicitors" (Newry) for 3 p.m. last Monday (March 7th 2016).'

The text in the paragraph just above is from an email dated March 10th 2016 to Newry Homecare employee Ms Paula Martin. A copy of the full email, the contents of which are self-explanatory I believe, can be viewed at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/Homecare/10March2016.htm/Email.html

Before I met Ms Aoifa McShane on March 7th 2016, I vaguely believed, in a doubtful type of way, that it might be possible, with the help of a professional lawyer, to quickly get an injunction to prevent Mr Patsy Heaney (Landlord, Clanrye Properties, Newry) from disposing of belongings of mine that I had suddenly left after me in the room I was renting from him, 30 minutes or so after the murder attempt on my life on November 16th 2015 (referred to above). Up the time I actually discussed my situation with Ms Aoife McShane LL.B, I also hoped that it would be possible to quickly get the injunction I was thinking about through a different law firm -- as an entirely separate one-off task -- without further adding to the already complex and convoluted set of instructions I had given to Ms Moley on October 19th 2015. However, when Ms McShane advised that it would only be possible for her to act on my behalf if I signed a legal paper which enabled her, and McShanes law firm, to fully take over from Ms Moley and McGuigan and Malone Solicitors, I decided to sign the paper during the appointment. Another important factor for me, relating to my decision to hurriedly set about trying to get the injunction I was thinking about, is that McShanes law firm is located much closer to where I was then staying than was the office of the now closed-down McGuigan and Malone Solicitors.

For reasons unknown to me, Ms McShane later decided to deviate in major ways from the "five-point plan" outlined in the March 10th 2016 email referred to at the www location immediately above, which I had discussed and agreed to at the end of my March 7th 2016 appointment with her. Among other things, and without consulting with me in any way, or ever providing me with any explanation that makes any sense to me, McShanes law firm never did take over my case from McGuigan and Malone Solicitors.

As you may know, my ongoing difficulties with McShanes law firm were the subject of a letter I sent through the registered post on October 31st 2016 to Dr. Frank Geddis, Head of Research and Policy at The Northern Ireland Law Society. A scanned copy of the letter, which I feel is self-explanatory, can be viewed at:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/NorthernIrelandLawSociety/31October2016/RegisteredLetter.htm

===   ===   ===

Partly for the purpose of communicating to you that, as evidenced by my abnormally high PSA Count, I might only have a limited amount of time to resolve the several legal, medical, financial, and social problems I am at present struggling with, I copied an email to you on February 15th 2017. In case that for any reason you might not have received it please know that there is an unedited "Gmail PDF" copy of it at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/DaisyHillHospital/15February2017/Gmail.pdf

Mostly for the purpose of making it easier for you to access the above www locations, should you wish to do so, I will later today place a copy of the text of this letter at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/NorthernIrelandLawSociety/23February2017/Letter.htm

By means of the above text, I hope I have answered to your satisfaction all of the queries you have raised in your February 9th 2017 letter to me. However, should you require any additional information from me, please let me know and I will try to provide you with it as soon as I can, having due regard -- please -- for the fact that bouts of chronic fatigue are among the main set of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) symptoms I have been suffering from for the past several years, which I continue to suffer from, and which I am still not receiving any medical treatment for.

Yours sincerely,


William Finnerty.
