"Unprecedented betrayal in the history of this State" arsa Quinn.
Clearly was never a member of Fianna Fáil so.
I wouldnt have had the quinns down as people who would use that kind of violence.
He is denying having anything to do with it but at the same time is justifying it.
Id say we know who the paymaster is.
It's an impossibility!
Stroke of luck for someone that Cyril McGuiness died on the spot...
Just got in and wound back a bit, Defo in need of some interior decorator expertise....a touch of the overlook from the shining ....Real depressing lighting
The way it was shot makes it look like he's rattling around a big old dusty faded mansion all alone
Just watching this
what a thick, ignorant, brutish animal Quinn is
the locals up there must feel like right mugs being taken in by him and his family
He couldn't keep his eyes focused on the interviewer for a second without looking away when he was denying knowing Dublin Jimmy.
The blaming of Anglo, the Regulator, the Govt over his own greedy mistakes is hard to fathom. You couldn't have an ounce of sympathy for the man after that.
And the sister proud of him going to jail, for buying and hiding property for his kids using company money that nearly tanked people's livelihoods. The stupidity of his supporters up there is staggering.
Aye, not bad money to keep quiet and just tip around!
Does anyone think quinn had nothing to do with the violence inflicted on Kevin Lunney?
500k a year he was getting. Jaysus.
I tend to agree, but then, these are people who lived through a hellish reality from 1969 to 1998. I had a close relative in the Guards who was based up there in the teeth of the Troubles and the stories he tells to this day would curl your hair.
However, none of that excuses law breaking, not for a second.
What it does make me wonder though, is how much protection money the Quinn interests must have had to pay to the RA during the Troubles, to be allowed build up these businesses, while all around them was in convulsions.
It's decorated like inside of parts of the Slieve Russell. Probably helped himself to materials.
People need to remember this when it comes to a border poll. Bandit country is a thing.
Not far off it. Some of the stuff in this though makes it hard to disagree with him too much.
Didn't stop John DeLorean.
”they’re different animals from everyone else up in the border region”
violence is what they know up that way and whether it’s due to provo involvement or not he didn’t know. He does know he just wanted to be someway diplomatic. The big smile on his face said it all. He’s laughing his head off at Quinn, the kids and rest of the mountain folk. Great to see.
No but its his and you cant take it. No matter the fact of a few billion outstanding. He built it himself with his own hands. Dug the stone out of the mountain himself.
Morgue like
God, I'd forgot about that scum bag who threw the tea in that poor mans face. Pure filth.
Quinn up and has played the merry band of locals like a fiddle.
Full of arrogance and delusion. Couldn't even keep quiet in his consultant role where he would have got himself back some influence.
The entitlement is a sight to behold.
“I knew him yeah, he doesn’t like the nickname Dublin jimmy”
10 seconds later “I never talked to him”.
Did he actually say that? 😂
I can't watch atm
Nah. Its when they thought they had a deal done for the hotel and it was taken off the table. Lol.
Hard to know who comes out worse here, Quinn, the kids, or some of the locals.
Yeh Sean. I bet you knew Dublin Jimmy.
The best bit was when he went to jail, pity it was only a short stretch.
Disproportionate amount of odious, brainwashed and backwards scum in that "community."
What a scumbag.
Quinns and their supporters.
Same as the swathes of people who naively overborrowed during those times to fund their mortgages, cars and holidays. All in the name of keeping up with the Joneses. The government or the banks can't be fully blamed for that either as some with like to do. Ultimately, a decent proportion of borrowers took leave of their senses and as a nation we paid the price and had to bail them out. What the banks did at the time was reprehensible but individual borrowers could have insulated themselves from that with financial prudence.
Quinn did the same, but on a grand scale. I've only watched the first 2 episodes and will catch up on the third tomorrow night. It's a well made documentary. The background is important, he did well for a long time and built a great business. But he got greedy and pissed it all away with risky gambles on Anglo. And instead of admitting his mistakes, he doubled down, and started down a path of hiding assets, illegally taking money out of the insurance companies reserves to cover his losses and he never entertained relinquishing his control on the company. He made some huge mistakes and didn't have the humility to take responsibility for them. I can't see how anyone could defend him, his hubris is off the scale. Being a successful businessman doesn't make you immune to failure or above the regulations, Seán seemed to think otherwise. He played the game of capitalism and won for many years, but he eventually lost and couldn't take it. If you live by the sword you must die by it.
Looking forward to episode 3......
At the end of the day Quinn Country is/ was like a little Gaelic kingdom and Quinn saw himself as the local chieftain. If he'd just stuck to that he and we'd be mostly grand but he wanted to be the Ard Rí and that's where he came unstuck.
