Fr O’Reilly said that there were “not too many” locals who were critical of what he had to say but that they were “very strong-willed.”
“This well-planned and well-organised abduction could only have happened when some person with ulterior motives agree to pay these criminals a sum of money and gave instructions on what he required to be done to an unsuspecting victim,” Fr O’Reilly said from the pulpit.“This senseless atrocity follows years of threats, abuse, lies and various forms of violent intimidation against the directors of Quinn Industrial Holdings,” he said.
Fr O’Reilly said that the “long reign of terror” now threatens “the lives and livelihoods” of everybody living in the Cavan, Fermanagh andHe condemned “a false narrative out there promoted by a small group of people in our midst that needs to be challenged.” Speaking from the altar at the church in Ballyconnell on Saturday night, Fr O’Reilly said he and many others like him had been “far too complacent” believing the intimidation campaign would “eventually peter out.”
The community was “now held to ransom by a few unscrupulous individuals who are hugely dangerous,” he said.
