Article 6.1 of the Republic of
Ireland Constitution
By William Finnerty
"This new
'bankers bailout law' represents the most serious
violation of Article 6.1 of our written Constitution
that the people of the Republic of Ireland have yet been
subjected to thus far, and I believe this because I
believe the consequences are likely to be the most
serious so far: unless, that is, this new piece of
legislation is very smartly cancelled through a
successful 'judicial review' challenge."
::::::::
There appears to be a great lack
of commitment to our written Constitution (Bunreacht
na hEireann), especially among our TDs
(elected representatives), and this possibly reflects a
general but dangerous lack of awareness of the
importance of written constitutions, and the crucially
important part they are meant to play with regard to
sovereign independent nation states such as the Republic
of Ireland.
Correctly or otherwise, I am very
firmly of the view that the Republic of Ireland cannot
ever become a truly independent sovereign nation state,
unless the majority of the people of the Republic of
Ireland start learning about (and supporting) Bunreacht
na hEireann in ways that count.
Personally, I was
very shocked (though not in the slightest bit surprised)
by the way President
Mary McAleese signed the "bankers bailout"
bill into law on December 21st 2010.
I believe
she should undoubtedly have instead used the first-class
constitutional facilities available to her through Article
26.1.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann, which are
better perhaps than in any other written constitution in
the whole world (and which would not have cost her a
single penny), to have the extremely
dubious bill in question referred to the
Supreme Court, so that our senior judges could study the
bill regarding the core issue of its constitutionality;
and, that President Mary McAleese's failure to make this
referral represents an extremely serious violation of
our written Constitution.
Far worse though (in my
view) is the fact that the people of the Republic of
Ireland have not been given a chance to have their
rightful say on the matter -- using a constitutional
referendum -- as to whether or not they wished to see
the bankers bailed out in the way this new piece of law
permits and supports (at their potentially unlimited
expense it seems!!). This, I believe, represents the
most serious violation of Article
6.1 of our written Constitution that the
people of the Republic of Ireland have yet been
subjected to thus far, and I believe this because I
believe the consequences are likely to be the most
serious so far: unless, that is, this new piece of
legislation is very tidily and rapidly cancelled through
a successful judicial
review challenge.
As I have found to
my extreme cost though, and unless things have recently
changed very dramatically in the Republic of Ireland's
legal profession, anybody who tries (on their own, and
who is not a TD such as Pearse Doherty for example), to
raise a "judicial review" challenge relating to this new
piece of Republic of Ireland "bankers bailout" law, can
fully expect -- in my view, and based on my own personal
experiences over a period of several years -- to very
rapidly run into major complications and difficulties
(not to mention very severe punishments involving C-PTSD injuries), which means
they will be callously, ruthlessly, viciously,
repeatedly, and with complete impunity, be blocked at every
point by all of the public
officials, bodies and individuals concerned,
from succeeding with the initiation of any such legal
challenge.
I have attempted to relay my concerns
relating to these issues to the Republic of Ireland High
Court President Justice
Nicholas Kearns in an e-mail I sent to him
(and several others) on December 21st 2010. For anybody
interested, a copy of the e-mail I used can be viewed at
the following www location: http://www.humanrightsireland.com/JusticeNicholasKearns/21December2010/Email.htm
And,
as can seen at the www address just above, I also used
the opportunity to try and point out to Justice Nicholas
Kearns (and to all of the other people included in the
recipient lists of the e-mail in question) that the
highly respected and exceptionally well-placed United
States Congressman Louis T. McFadden
had extreme concerns of the deepest nature about the
"forefathers" of the present "privately owned global
banking cartel" setup, which involved bringing "formal
charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve Bank system (i.e. the privately owned Central
Bank of the US), The Comptroller of the Currency and the
Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous
criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY,
FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND
TREASON".
Unfortunately, Mr Mc Fadden died before
he completed his desperately needed task.
What a
VERY different world it might be today, had US
Congressman Louis T. Mc Fadden lived long enough to
finish the exceptionally valuable legal challenge he was
working on?
The above text is very largely based
on a "comment" relating to a recent TV interview with
musician, singer, songwriter, and activist Jim
Corr at the following www location: http://www.sovereignindependent.com/?p=11324&cpage=1#comment-94834

Later
today, and for future reference purposes, a copy
of this e-mail will be placed at the following
