Dear Commissioner Conroy,
In a letter to me dated March 9th 2004,
Galway T.D. (Member of Parliament) Deputy Padraic McCormack expressed
the view that a serious bribe allegation (made in the presence of two
witnesses) involving Celtic Waste (and the Chairman of the Kilconnell
Anti-Dump Group) should be investigated by the Gardai.
To the very best of my knowledge no such
Gardai investigation has yet taken place; and, if nothing is done
about this fairly soon it appears to me that An Bord Pleanala may make
an important decision (regarding a planned superdump very close to
where I live) which completely ignores this extremely serious bribery
allegation altogether.
The bribery matter in question was
debated in the Dail (Irish Parliament) on July 1st 2003 by Deputy
Trevor Sargent T.D. (Green Party Leader), and Martin Cullen T.D.
(Minister for the Environment). The text of the debate in
question can be seen at Internet page location:
http://www.gov.ie/debates-03/1Jul/Sect4.htm
On July 11th 2003, I sent a letter through
the registered post to Minister Cullen (which was copied to Prime
Minister Ahern T.D.) requesting that the €50,000 bribe allegation and
certain other matters be investigated in a responsible manner. In so
far as I can judge, it seems to me that Minister Cullen and Prime
Minister Ahern are both completely ignoring my written request of July
11th 2003. The text of my letter, and Post Office details of the
registered letters I used, can be viewed at:
More recently, I pointed out the
Celtic Waste bribery allegation in the text of a written submission I
made to An Bord Pleanala dated February 21st 2004. The text of this
written submission, together with the Bord Pleanala appeal hearing
reference numbers, can be viewed at:
http://www.finnachta.com/BordPleanalaAppeal.htm
I would like to stress to you that when I
later tried to discuss the bribe matter at the An Bord Pleanala oral
hearing on March 11th 2004 (in Oranmore, County Galway), I was
prevented from doing so by the An Bord Pleanala Inspector (Mr Robert
Ryan) - in the presence of dozens of witnesses. I was not given
any reason which I would consider remotely satisfactory by Mr Ryan for
his intervention .
I would also like to point out to you that
(in case you do not already know) Celtic Waste is almost entirely
owned by National Toll Roads, and that according to reports I have
heard from a number of different sources, a certain Mr George Redmond
(once a very senior local government official in Dublin I understand)
is at present in jail partly because of a large bribe he took from
National Toll Roads a few years ago. I further understand that all
the details of this matter are to be found in the Tribunal Report
associated with Mr Redmond's criminal conviction and imprisonment.
General background information relating to
the planned Celtic Waste superdump in Kilconnell can be found at the
following MSN web site:
http://groups.msn.com/KilconnellAntiDump/messages.msnw ;
and, backup copies of the information in question can be found in the
messages section of the Yahoo site located at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheCelticParty/
Later today I plan to send a signed copy
of this letter to you through the registered post.
For your convenience, and for future
reference purposes, I also plan to copy the text of this letter to the
following Internet page location (sometime within the next 48 hours):
http://www.finnachta.com/PoliceLetter31March2004.htm
It would be much appreciated if you
could let me have a written acknowledgement of receipt for this letter
within the coming 14 days (addressed to the postal address provided
below please).
Yours sincerely,
Mr William Finnerty
"St Albans"
New Inn
Ballinasloe
County Galway.
