The Garda and psni should flood the area on both sides of the border and get these guys, otherwise we have conceded control to the I R A. Who was the poor guy that was beaten to death in a barn because he stood up to the local Provo head? Was anyone ever charged?

The board received a threatening letter regarding land access to a now French owned company, (formally Quinn property) stating that: It's locals or people pretending to be locals wanting resolution to a local issue.FYI: the youngest of any ex-IRA would be in their late 40's. Nice to see Coveney take the man's serious beating as a chance to score points. I'd be more impressed if the state caught these guys. It seems this is only the most high profile of a number of Quinn related intimidations around the area. There's certainly an element of the old guard not liking them foreigners coming over here etc. It's like The Field ffs...

A so-called community page established to publish disparaging material about Quinn Industrial Holdings executives warned that a “kangaroo court” had passed a “sentence” on the executives. The company’s chief operating officer Kevin Lunney, who is recovering from his abduction and paramilitary-style beating and torturing this week, was named as one of the people subjected to the “kangaroo court”. The post was published on the Seán Quinn Community Group Facebook page last September. The page is one of a number of presences online that has been disseminating material seeking to damage the QIH executive team. Seán Quinn has condemned the attack on Mr Lunney calling it “barbaric” and while the Sean Quinn Community page bears his name and his image, he has no link to it.The page, like the campaign of violence and intimidation against the QIH executives over the past five years, seeks to damage the executives and suggests Mr Quinn should be back running the companies he founded. However, while those behind the social media material and the violence have sought the return of Seán Quinn to the businesses, he has been clear to state that none of the activity is linked to him.https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/community-page-warned-of-kangaroo-court-sentence-for-quinn-executives-1.4024861

Absolute dirt, hope the guards have the courage to pursue this to conviction, that kind of thing belongs to a dark chapter in the history of our country and has no place in modern Ireland.
Matt Barrett wrote: » It's a disturbing loyalty. Likely Quinn has nothing to do with it, however he and his supporters would have been very vocal on the narrative that it was everyone's fault but his. Even when he was trying to leave the tax payer with his bill they'd a rally for him and top GAA men were at it saying they were a good family. Same way families support particular parties regardless of their record and there's an element of tipping the cap to your betters too. It's obscene.
