From the article



So part of the death threat to the directors was Dublin Jimmy demanding that they meet with Sean Quinn after they had refused to previously. Now how would Dublin Jimmy have known that Quinn attempted to set up a meeting and was ignored?

Sunday World also reporting a row in a pub between Dublin Jimmy and one of the paymasters relatives in the lead up to the kidnapping and torture. On top of that English police saying they got a treasure trove of emails, we could be seeing several arrests next week.

Well I think that says it all... in the Sunday world did it name the relative?

Any sign of padre to the stars Fr D"arcy,was very vocal for the Quinns last time there was unrest.

Good, you are doing the right thing.
This thread is about some very nasty business involving extremely dangerous people.
You shouldn't have drawn the GAA into the discussion in the first place.

There would be a lot of very lonely people in parishes all around the country without the GAA.

No the article didnt name him,it just said that a relative of the paymaster was in the pub talking to Dublin Jimmy shortly before the kidnap and it turned into a heated argument. "What the fcuk are we paying you for, get it done" was the headline.

Just out of curiosity if anyone here is local to the area..what is the feeling in Ballyconnell/Derrylin at the moment..where is public sympathy lying?

The thing I don't get about dissidents being behind this is that even if they did get control this way, what was the plan then?

You can maybe force people to hand you the company but you cannot force people to deal with the new company. To survive, this company would need very very major clients and they wouldn't go near it.
Doesn't make the slightest bit of sense there are easier ways to make that kind of money.

Dissidents?

Was Bishopsgate in 1993 the work of dissidents?

Of course, Eurasia was never at war with Eastasia.

Seems the guy was a Dub up on the make in border country, didn't care much who he did business with.
And yes blanch, there should be no IRA, anybody operating under that banner is a 'dissident'.

Prior to being a "dissident" he was a good upstanding member of the IRA, helping plant the car-bomb in Bishopsgate and providing logistical support to other operations.

The only thing that makes him a "dissident" is that he didn't stop. You can't criticise his treatment of the QIH people without criticising what he did before.

As you have been told many times...everything that happened in our conflict was wrong imo. It shouldn't have happened.

And I don't think he was a 'member' according to any intelligence I seen released, he was just one of those thuggish types that all armies need from time to time, to do what they do. It will be interesting to find out why he was allowed to walk away from those actions though, but the British will probably lock those files away for a few decades too.

He was there to steal vehicles, that's all.

Bishopsgate was a part on building up the peace process.

Britain understood that there would be a significant price to war after it.

Would Britain have gone along with the peace process sans such events, maybe, maybe not.

Interesting details. You guys are the real journalists ha ha.

From what I’ve heard he was a member, just like so many other thugs. It is surprising that he is now being disclaimed as we have been told many times how noble the IRA were and didn’t use common criminals.

Yes, he became a dissident and subsequently a common criminal for hire, his background is the IRA. We also know from intelligence reports that while the boys in Belfast maintain a tight control over the political agenda within Sinn Fein, they don’t retain control over their former units.

We will be dealing with the obnoxious legacy of the IRA for quite a few more years.

He was a criminal when he was in Dublin before moving to the border region.

If you heard he was a member...just like other people you suspect of having been members, you better get that info to the proper authorities or sell it to the media.

I have said it before here, I have no doubt that army's use a thuggish element to do some of the things they do. Because basically what armies do in war/conflict is thuggish is practice. They don't have their own police forces for nothing.

And you only have to look at where this guy came from - Dublin (would Leo call areas of Dublin lawless, I wonder?) - to know that crime will always be with us blanch, sadly.

He was known as Dublin Jimmy because he was originally from Dublin, but he operated around the border area during the Troubles, and you didn't do that then without the approval and the full support of the IRA. Maybe I am wrong, and he wasn't a full member, and only paid "tax" to the IRA, but there is no denying him from the republican side.

Remember the start of this and other threads when we were told that republicans had nothing to do with what was happening to QIH? Well, that was a lie that didn't last well.

Edit: Check out post 5 and post 9 on this thread.

Sean Quinn would be republican. So 'republicans' were involved in this from the get go.

Why don't you spit out your oft inferred 'theory' - that 'republicans are more prone to violence and thuggery than anybody else. That's is what quazi-eugenic theory is after all?

McGuinness has a criminal record BEFORE he moved to the border. Do your research blanch.

And smuggling and crime happened on the border without any input or control of the IRA or Loyalists blanch...who were also involved in their own smuggling and criminal rackets, another little deficit in your research. You couldn't exactly apply for grant-aid. :rolleyes:

This post from September sums it up better than I could, and looks so accurate in terms of what we know since. Pretending that ex-Provos are not involved is simply not tenable.

I have always been suspicious of how Quinn could operate in the border area through the height of the troubles and not become a victim of extortion by the paramilitaries. He became the wealthiest man in Ireland under the noses of the provos ? Something isnt right. Fast forward a few years and his empire is wiped out and company is under new ownership yet the new board become victims of an unrelenting campaign employing similar methods used by the provos back in the day? Far too much of a coincidence all of this. What mystifies me is that total lack of arrests and convictions, again this is very similar to what we see in gangland / terrorist crimes. Will someone have to die before the authorities take this seriously ?
