Dear supporter,
It is with regret that I inform you that I lost the local elections to Meath County Council. I tried my mightiest with 5 canvassers and 2.5k budget and did remarkably well with 734 first preference votes, 864 by the 7th round which saw me being eliminated. Another 100 votes would have secured victory. My picture not being on the ballot paper detracted from voter recognition which, I am told could have secured the remaining necessary votes, however alas, it was clearly not meant to be. I wish to thank you sincerely for your support, it will always be remembered, appreciated and cherished. I wish to remain active in our community, if this is of assistance and I will always be available to you on 086 845 3044 should I be able to assist you with any political, community or personal matter.
My warmest, kindest, most genuine regards,
James.

Mosney death threats.
Dear supporter,
I am overwhelmed at the sheer groundswell of support which has arisen as a result of my arrest and death threats for spearheading a new Asylum Seeker Volunteering in the Community Scheme. I wish to thank you personally and communicate that I will fight your corner skillfully when you decide to elect me in June.
Always yours,

James Carey Arrested
Dear supporter,
As you may have read from the media, I was arrested on Friday May 8th on charges dating back almost one decade. An Gardai Siochana decided that it was appropriate to bring charges forth some 3 weeks before the local election and hold the next court date on election day. In addition, they are attempting to trump up these charges from shooting at a lady's bum with a pellet gun to very serious charges including firearms offeces and serious assault. All of this comes days after I topped an East Meath Pre Election Poll as being certain of winning a seat.
Want my opinion? Filthy, contrived and downright nasty politics where the powers that be are petrified of a new, young and energetic breeze clensing away decades of sheer corruption and incompetence in our county council offices. They threatened me by phone, email and in person in a bid to secure my withdrawal from the pending race. I hereby declare that it will take more than a few Mugabe style poll scare tactics to prevent me from making every effort to represent you on our council in June. I will always stand by you.

2500 New Jobs for East Meath a REALITY.
Dear supporter,
2500 jobs will become a reality within the very near future, particularly if I am elected to our county council in June. Ballygarth Manor will be utterly transformed into an enchanting new development comprising of a retirement village, boutique hotel and state of the art golf course. I am aware that this is a recession and that golf courses and hotels are closing all around, but ours is special because we can build at 65% less than all existing competitors owing to the recessionary price falls, hence we can compete at a lower rate thus delivering a great service at a low price which, recession or not, will win. Get behind an ambitious young man and ask all of your friends and family to vote Carey No.1 for Local Government in Meath on June 5th. I thank you.

James Carey Politics in Meath as an Independent Candidate
Dear resident,
I write to you as an independent county council candidate for June 5th to affirm how badly an independent councillor is needed in our community. For centuries we have suffered the absence of a county councillor who is from here and it shows. An absence of public services, roads retained in an appalling state alongside a transport system akin to a banana republic.
I will change this.
Always yours,

Drogheda Independent Headline: Carey's Community Alert Launch
EAST Meath's new Garda Superintendent Jim Cannon was on hand to launch Stamullen's new Community Alert initiative recently.
The launch took place at a well attended community meeting in Whytes pub.
At the meeting Sergeant Trevor Dooley of Laytown Gardaí, Stamullen's new Community Alert Liaison Officer, explained how the system works.
He said it is very much community driven with a committee of local volunteers who 'identify community needs and collectively address them.'
At the meeting there was some confusion as to which station serves Stamullen.
Up until last summer the area was under the jurisdiction of Balbriggan Gardaí but now Stamullen is policed by Laytown Gardaí.
Superintendent Cannon stressed that Laytown Garda station has a 24-hour patrol-car service but it is not a 24hour station.
He said Laytown current has five sergeants and 14 Garda officers with one sergeant and four gardaí on patrol at one time.
The Superintendent said the target is to have more gardaí on duty in Laytown by the end of March.
He emphasised the need for people to report crime or the potential for crime saying Gardaí can check a licence plate in minutes and can tell if it is indeed suspicious or just a plumber on a job.
Noel McCarthy from Muintir na Tíre spoke about the origins of the Community Alert programme which was developed in partnership with An Garda Síochána, as a response to the rise in crime in rural Ireland.
At the meeting a 14 member volunteer Community Alert committee for Stamullen was established, chaired by James Carey of Glasheen Estate with Melanie Harkin from Cockhill as honorary secretary.
A list of Community Alert contacts for each estate in Stamullen will be circulated in the near future and a website is planned.
Liaison officer Sergeant Dooley can be contacted by email at trevor.dooley@garda.ie.

Over 150 parishioners at meeting
By BRENDAN MATTHEWS
Wednesday March 11 2009
AT the recent launch of the Community Alert scheme, held in Whyte's function room in Stamullen, over 150 parishioners attended which is a record attendance.
Chairperson of the Community Alert James Carey, who is also the forthcoming local election candidate, said that the turnout for this initial meeting was staggering and he wished to extend his thanks and appreciation to everybody who turned up on the night including the liaison officer Sergeant Dooley.
Carey, who is a native of the parish, also stated that it is his utmost intention and commitment to the people of Stamullen to have a garda station provided for Stamullen.
He went on to say that the turnout of such a large gathering of people at the Community Alert meeting shows that the people of Stamullen are willing to do their share when it comes to policing and that a strong signal was being sent out to An Garda Síochana and the Justive Minister that the growing population of Stamullen and its hinterland needed a station.
Carey also stated that more recreational facilities must be provided for the children and teenagers of the village.
The next meeting of the Community Alert group will take place on March 25th in Whyte's function room.

Mosney Scheme
Urgent news.
A brand new Mosney & Asylum seeker based initiative is unveiled this week. After a lengthy department of Justice battle, local independent political East Meath election Candidate, James Carey won the right to put into action a scheme which links asylum seekers in Mosney with individuals or groups in our native community in need of labour based support. Residents Associations, the elderly and disabled comprised of 85% of all online applications already with mowing communal lawns, helping the elderly to bingo and general house maintenance ranking amongst the top 3 requests. Full details of this initiative are available, alongside an online application form at: www.jamescarey.ie/careycares
This story must reach the broader community as thousands of asylum seekers waste their days in our asylum centres. They want to work, but our Government will not allow them to, therefore the brilliant idea of simply connecting them to our communities on a voluntary basis makes total sense. Mosney will pilot this scheme, we will then roll it out nationwide. One local gentleman who suffers from brain damage, Mr. Brian Moran of Stamullen, Co. Meath said that without Editha, his helper, his life would be unbearable. "Before Editha began to help me, I was literally barely able to make a cup of tea. Now, she comes 4 days per week and I feel like a new man!"
This is positive news amidst the mountains of negative press of late. This creates a positive feeling out of a highly discussed, controversial and serious topic of the asylum process.
Call 086 845 3044 or fill out the online application form for further details.

New Bank in Stamullen
New Bank in Stamullen
Dear Resident,
Following on from last week’s letter, I write to touch base with you this week to provide a general update.
1. Election Fundraiser
The date of my election fundraiser has been amended. It was planned to take place this coming Friday 13th in Whytes Function Room at 8pm. Due to an unforeseen event, it is necessary to alter this date. A new date and associated details will be communicated to you soon. I trust that you will accept my apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused I and thank you warmly for your understanding.
2. Successful Sports Fundraiser!
Many thanks for your support in helping to make Alan Bonner’s Sports Fundraiser so successful! Record amounts of supporters attended generating an unstoppable wave of support for both Stamullen’s & Ireland’s next Motorcycling hero! If you choose to elect me with your vote in June’s local elections, I promise that all talented individuals or groups living locally will receive similar support and that equally successful events will be arranged to help facilitate their ascent.
3. New Bank in Stamullen
Further to listening carefully as to how you feel Stamullen should develop, I am delighted to announce that I will begin a process, if you elect me which will initiate the provision of a bank in our community. Most residents feel uncomfortable with our overdependence on key services located in Balbriggan and Drogheda and feel that a locally situated financial experience would represent an enormous convenience. We can achieve this challenge together!
4. Community Alert First Meeting
As the Chairperson of our newly released community alert programme, I wish to make you aware that the community alert committee & local area representatives advertised to the rear of my previous circular will conduct their very first meeting with Stamullen’s new Garda Sergeant; Trevor Dooley on Wednesday 25th of March at 8pm in Whytes Function Room. You are invited to attend to become actively involved in the policing of your community.

Potholes
Potholes
After almost shattering the wheel on my car recently on a crater sized set of potholes on the Silverstream Road connecting Stamullen to Julianstown adjacent to St. John of Gods residence, I immediately contacted Meath County Council and demanded that this outrageous state of disrepair be rectified.
Within 24 hours, the holes were filled in and it is now possible to pass through this stretch of road without fear of damage to our automobiles. If you see a pothole or set of potholes, please contact Meath County Council with immediate effect to raise awareness of these hazards.
Should they not act as expected, please contact me and I will take up your complaint with them on your behalf. I will always work on your behalf.

Playground conclusion.
Playground Repositioning.
I wish to communicate with all residents of Stamullen and indeed East Meath in relation to a proposed playground in Mountain View Estate, Stamullen, Co. Meath.
Whilst canvassing for the pending local elections, I have spoken with thousands of residents, all of whom hold an opinion with regards to both a playground and the broader topic of a general lack of facilities in this area.
I hereby tender my views in connection with this issue and I am available at james@jamescarey.ie or on www.jamescarey.ie to discuss it further.
Residents in this estate have worked admirably, tirelessly and collectively since moving in some thirty two years ago to raise and maintain their environment to a prize winning standard. Resources necessary for these works were gathered by any means available and put to both great and lasting use.
To even contemplate infringing on such a harmonious residential estate, in my opinion shows a council utterly out of touch with the needs of the local residents.
I formally ask the proposers if they would be happy should a playground be constructed metres away from their front door?
A playground and furthermore a swathe of family, children and teenager orientated facilities are desperately needed in Stamullen as the entire populous agrees. However, developing a small corner of an established estate in total disregard of the wishes of all residents is an insensitive proposal.
I will fight against it passionately on behalf of all constituents before, during and after the pending elections.
A superior solution appears to be constructing a dedicated, state of the art parkland, playground and skating facility large enough to serve all users on the new GAA grounds on the Cock Hill Road with access routes resonating outwards to all corners of Stamullen. This will accommodate every household in the area and will not upset a single resident. My pledge is to further this proposal and to turn it into a reality, with your support.
Stamullen has contributed enormous sums in terms of development levies to Meath County Council and I am steadfastly determined to repatriate amounts necessary to raise public services, child, adolescent and family services together with safe foothpaths and streetlighting up to a winning level.
In conclusion, my goal is to channel the energy utilised in opposing this playground into advancing a modern, vast and inclusive facility which is sensitively, collaboratively and sustainably planned. Together we can create a better solution.

Carey’s Graffiti Removal Scheme
Carey’s Graffiti Removal Scheme
Dear reader,
I wish to make you aware of a new scheme that I have launched to formally tackle the graffiti problem rampaging throughout our community. The aptly named “Carey’s Graffiti Removal Scheme” harnasses the skills and willingness to help of local people including Paddy Dempsey of “Pure-Clean windows” of Stamullen who performs such works on a permanent basis.
We unite weekly to physically spray down walls which have been vandalised by graffiti. In the absence of Meath County Council support, we are sending out a clear message that we care about our community and will not accept this form of crime.
I suggest that in the new playground & parklands to be constructed on Cockhill road, a designated “Graffiti Wall” be constructed where youths can express their artistic creativity confined to an agreed space as oppose to damaging the property of residents. Nobody is still sure what ‘SFA’ stands for! This outlet will not curb their expression, but will help to prevent criminal damage.
Please view www.jamescarey.ie or call me on 0868453044 if you wish to become involved.

Playground Victory!
Dear Reader,
I am delighted to announce that victory was witnessed tonight by all attendee's at our meeting to debate the location of our playground. Whilst we all ache for a playground, the resident's of Mountain View Estate, with my support communicated to Meath County Council Representatives that under no circumstances would it be acceptable to construct a playground on their thoroughly well maintained and cherished small grounds.
A clear message has been returned to the proposers. CHOOSE A BETTER SITE.
My suggestion of situation said playground in the new GAA grounds was supported by the general majority, including council representatives and I trust that this or a close alternative will now prevail, allowing Mountain View Residents to return to a situation of calm and certainty.
Thank you for your continued support.
James Carey

Playground Relocation / Community Alert Launch
February 2009 - Playground Relocation
Playground relocation.
I wish to engage with you in relation the proposed new playground in Mountain View Estate. A decision to construct this was arrived upon without suitable public consultation or expression of opinions from residents. A consensus has been formed that whilst our whole community aches for a long overdue playground to be installed, it would be highly irresponsible to place it in a small, already highly utilised and cherished segment of Mountain View Estate.
Instead a perfect alternative, in the view of most people with whom I have liaised is the grounds of the new G.A.A. services on Cock Hill Road. A large, state-of-the-art, multi-functional parkland, playground and skating facility could be constructed here which meets the needs of all users. Please join in our public meeting on Wednesday 11th of February in Whites in Stamullen at 8 p.m. to further debate this topic. Together we can create a better solution.
Best,
James,

Playground proposal badly planned.
Playground at Mountain View
Dear Reader,
The construction of a playground in Mountain View has been tabled. Local residents have communicated their concerns as to the choice of location to me, and I listened. I hereby tender my response.
As a native, it is my opinion that this is a highly unsuitable location to situate said amenity as it will attract into a long established residential area, both undesirable and unnecessary noise, activity and potentially late night anti social behaviour including youth alcohol consumption and related unpleasant disturbance to local residents.
Residents of Mountain View have worked tirelessly in a collective fashion over the years to maintain their green space to a superior standard and this should be respected, not ignored in any new proposals.
Whilst I welcome and I am actively involved in all efforts to construct a long, long, long overdue playground or indeed any amenity for children, I strongly object to it being placed in Mountain View when there are an array of more appropriate alternatives which take into account the needs of local residents in the mentioned estate alongside the needs of our wider community.
We need a large, spacious, well equipped, safe playground and parkland to serve all residents.
Alternatives which comprise of some acreage as oppose to the consumption of a small corner of an already prized green space are available and I will invest my energy into bringing them to our community's attention over the coming period.
I am available to discuss this topic on any form of communication listed below, or better still in person. Name the time and place!
Sincerely yours,
James Carey
