Is there more evidence to come from the phones etc of Dublin Jimmy recovered at his place?
Well it was certainly an eye opener to a possible major driving force for sure.
Yep, in that 30 seconds she came across as a right old hag.
As if you haven't guessed I'm from here and that did happen.
If it was meant to elicit sympathy, the wife shouldn't have been let on camera. What a weapon.
Id doubt that. Absolutely no way they could have been pressured to do that. Management wouldnt have gone there. That was employee organised late.
They were "encouraged" to by the present Management. Things aren't always as they seem.

No. But the state should have taken his house m too.
Would it be related to his gaf being raided in April perhaps? Did someone get wind of something about to happen. They might now had been able to release it with a pending cpurt case perhaps. Just speculation.
Anyway another interesting thing I thought was that this documentary was announced 3 days ago and was a change from the published schedules.
Tried to see if it was announced before that and it was announced 3 years ago and again last year as part of the autumn schedule and obviously not shown either of those times, but it seems to have been rushed onto the TV this week. Wonder is there any reason for that
Moral hazard. There can be no capitalism and functioning markets without dysfunctional firms being allowed to fail.*
*I'm concious that this doctrine wasn't followed with the banking system in Ireland following the crash - but a functioning banking system is systemically critical, a bloated and faltering business empire to the benefit of one family isn't.
This was discussed in episode 1 and he was looking for 600m to get him back on the rails despite already owing billions. It would be a ridiculous state of affairs to have let him carry on - regardless if the State would have recovered more. The State would definitely have recovered more if he just left quietly - should the State give in to blackmail from such a person? Rhetorical question.
So you are saying that no matter how many crimes you commit, you should be allowed to profit from your misdeeds as long as the State gets its money?
Are you Russian?
Ive never met Kevin Lunney but he strikes me from what we have seen in this documentary as an honourable and decent guy with integrity. I hope he recovers from the horrific experience inflicted on him.
Imagine smashing someones shins with a baseball bat.
It was telling when all of the quinn employees downed tools in support of him that day at 3pm. They had enough at that stage and were making it clear to the Quinns that there was no way back. Quinn has alienated most people it would seem.
For the last number of years it’s about what he didn’t say rather than what he did say, that is most telling.
As for his wife, the stupid ranting about a priest who never once mentioned Quinn by name- Let the hate eat her from the inside out in her gaudy MacMansion.
Sorry now but I laughed at his tears at the end- the ego is still massive but his sense of personal responsibility is negligible in my view.
If the state only recuperated 400mill from Sean Quinn...then would we all not have been in a better place if they let him on with the business under the provision he paid back the money over a certain amount of time? Genuine question..even if they only got a billion more back? The business seems to be doing as well but Mannok sure as hell don't have to pay a cent of it. Or am I missing the point? I do understand what he did was atrocious...but in terms of getting the money back would leaving the business running as it was not have been the best option?
I Think you spelt C##t wrong.
That's not correct. Those loans were used to 'buy' his shares in Anglo in a futile attempt to stave off a complete collapse of the share price. Ultimately the shares were worthless and just left the debt he built up when he originally bought them. The debt was always his though.
Total Fantasy. Good Grief.
He reminds me in some ways of my father with his stubbornness who is from the same era. When you know and he and everyone else knows a bad judgment call has been made:
"That was a mistake" or "That was probably a mistake"
Except with my dad the rare admission is about something trivial like buying some ill fitting furniture - not losing billions on CFD's.
Without going off on too much of a tangent (I hope), I think there's a fundamental difference between manufacturing and financialisation.
With manufacturing you're making something real out of materials. Whereas with these stock market deals its a kind of conjuring money out of thin air.
The desire to just magic up money through hype or manipulation seems to be corrupting. That kind of financial wizardry is far from the logic of heavy industry.
Mary Lou is on the Late Late on Friday night- it's all hands on deck for that one.
Don't think he once said sorry about any of it.
Im waiting for one of the red tops to engage an ex fbi profiler to give their opinion.
Sure thats the same for anyone who got a mortgage for 300k in thebceltic tiger years but were only earning 30k. Bollix. You cant borrow money or gamble with money you cant repay.
He might need treatment for that addiction.
Its an irish thing to be able to walk away from millions or billions it would seem.
Decent programme. At the end of the day, people would eventually have forgiven the business errors. But the violence perpetrator against Lunney etc was a bridge too far.
Noticeable tonight, that his Board's border supporters have been mainly absent.
Maybe she is the paymaster!
Lots of dust on the long table.
If I had of made 5 billion my first move would have been to upgrade that yoke.
I might be down to my last few hidden away million now but my young wife would be hot as sh1t while I strolled round my mansion.
I can't see him loving her for her winning personality either.
