Who thinks Sean Quinn is a great businessman now?

What you just posted is exactly what Dukes was alluding to, a propensity for violence.

The irony of assaulting someone just because they say you have a propensity for criminality and violence, is lost on you.

To say Dukes said the wrong thing upsets people is an opinion, but surely looking at the programme and seeing a fella walk up to lads eating and throwing a cup of boiling water in ones face and beating the other fella for no reason. Has to be wrong in any bodies head and can’t be defended, then the real nail in Quinns legacy the beating of Kevin Lunney by hired and paid scum surely in any part of the country Is wrong in any person head and all Quinn had do was call out the people behind it and would have gained a bit of respect back

I get this, but the man also did a lot a lot of good for people. Huge drive and ambition and energy required. He did it. And many people’s lives bettered by him

Yes, I am fully aware his failings and wrongdoings. He’s human.

Regarding Lunney: one the most sickening acts of recent years.

Watching the doc, you’d have to wonder wtf our gardai and judicial system were doing that these scum were doing this for several years, and it took this horrific abduction for it to end..

These scum had support and deafness and indifference to it. Lunney was greatly let down by many.

At the end of the day Seanies legacy will be of only horrific and underhanded acts. He has ensured that he will be remembered as a bitter man with a dangerous streak. All of the good he done and the successes will be forgotten. That's really sad actually.

He had a chance himself to really stop the carry on of the thuggery that happened prior to the Lunney kidnapping which might have prevented that from happening. He could have really condemned the vandalism and threats which almost cost so many their livelihoods in that area but he didn't.

What Seanie and the Quinn's don't seem to grasp is the local community and the wider community owe him nothing. He needed a workforce and he paid them. It's a transactional type of thing.

He was indeed a shrewd and successful person. Of that there can be no doubt. But he was also very unsuccessful. That can happen to anyone but it's his actions and what he has inflicted on individuals and the country as a whole since then that will be etched into peoples minds.

Newsflash - Dukes is not a politician. 🙄

Phew!!!

In my post I stated a beating of Kevin Lunney and mistakenly Didn’t want to go into the gory details which wouldn’t be inflicted by any sane person and wasn’t downplaying it.

Maybe you think Seanie and Fingers should have been given a chance as well to work their way out of the mess.

Who says he has any? Dukes? His comments has had multiple local politicians speaking out due to his stupidity.

I don't know Quinn and I don't like the man for what he did but if he had some form of an agreement it is my opinion that it would have been repaid. Look at all the developers that went bang in 2008 and walked away. One in Cork this week had 170 million written off.
