they do, in fact i believe it was modeled on CAB. i remember reading an article about it, at the time it was being brought in the english police referred to colloquially as ''Murphys Law''.

Reports that Cyril was a cousin of former Sinn Fein deputy Martin McGuinness. Can anyone confirm?

Big man who liked terrorising people keels over at a knock at his door.
Not so tough after all.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He was related either nephew or cousin.

I think the Police may have tasered him which lead to the heart attack and subsequent pissing himself.

Good.

i know they wont release it, but i would part with good money to see the police officer's bodycam footage of his ugly mug when they 'er "knocked" on his door.

"wakey! wakey!"

He probably die too fast, good riddance

“Once recruited by MI5”. Now there’s a cast iron way to avoid prosecution for quite a while.

good riddance.

great riddance in fact.

Innocent until proven guilty?

You have a very simple mind my friend, if you think the ringleader of this whole operation conveniently died while officers were searching his house.

Thanks. There's definitely a resemblance in some of the images I've seen of him. Like a fatter, scummier version of Martin.

Letwin_Larry · 08-11-2019 4:39pm

what the fool didn't realise is the attack on Mr. Lunney, had wider economic implications. ie the ability/willingness of MNCs/FDI to locate in the border area and perhaps beyond.
he effectively attracted a hugh $hitstorm on his head, on both sides of the border and on both islands.

the deaths of those poor Vietnamese people would also have strengthened the resolve of the powers of state to sort this lot out.

hopefully some good will come of this, and i congratulate the Gardai, the PSNI, and Derbyshire Police on some brillant work.

Some people delight in a conspiracy, particularly those uninclined to pay TV licence fees. However most often, a cigar is just a cigar.

I absolutely accept that an overweight, middle-aged man, living a stressful life (self induced) might well have a dicky ticker that could throw a jammer at any moment, not least from the shock of the cops kicking in his door in a house he thought he was safe in, or from a taser blast if he resisted. He may also have thought he was facing a worse fate from a dangerous enemy that found him and literally and figuratively shat himself.

If you further think that police officers engaged in a raid linked directly to a couple of the highest profile and most appalling cases in both Britain and Ireland this year were not going to carry out the raid absolutely by the book, then you're even madder.

Either way, if he is the man behind these things, my only regret is his loss as a source of information to the paymasters.

Letwin_Larry · 08-11-2019 4:58pm

well if they ever decide to make a movie about this guy, and god only knows why, then they wont have far to look .....

Oh well that's fair enough then. We shouldn't expect the gardai to be able to catch the clever criminals.

... and in the end it was our useless police force who actually provided the intel to the UK team to break down his door.

They had no idea about him, who he was or what he had done.

One article I read in the past few minutes describes the police as finding a "treasure trove" of information at the house in Derbyshire.

Hopefully its true, and destroys the lives of these criminals and their families and associates.

Sometimes statements like that are released to give associates some squeaky bum time in the hope of garnering some voluntary information.

Can someone tell this simpleton why he was attacked, and by whom? Without speaking in code and nudge nudge wink winking I live too far away to understand border talk!

The ambition of these thugs, to take down QIH, was so that it could be taken over by someone else. It wasn't going to be the thugs who were eyeing up control of the company. It was someone else.

Incidentally, this chief ringleader, who died, is a Derrylin man. Small world, eh?

Fergul Quinn is dead!!! At least his sausages will live on.

SafeSurfer · 08-11-2019 5:17pm

Quinn has cost the citizens of this state over €3.5 billion between covering his investment losses and the insurance levy. In the past I felt sympathetic towards the Quinns.
Not any more.

Yes they do. It's modelled on CAB. French and Dutch have similar.

How anyone could have ever had an ounce of sympathy is beyond me.

Local "saintly" man who made good and was screwed. Plenty of examples of it in this country!

Just another example of how the paramilitaries continue to be a malign influence on wider society.
