‘I now believe there has been a Mafia style group with its own Godfather operating in our region’

There is a false narrative out there promoted by a small group of people in our midst that needs to be challenged. The directors of Quinn Industrial Holdings are not usurpers but quality leaders who courageously took on the management of this company at a time of crisis. Most of them previously worked tirelessly in this and related businesses for many years before all went into administration in 2011 which was not of their doing. I am not competent to speak on these issues.

Firstly, I wish to apologise to Kevin Lunney and the extended Lunney family and the other directors of Quinn Industrial Holdings for my own ambivalence in not speaking out more forcibly about their safety until this weekend. Friends, there is now an obvious cancer of evil in our midst that needs to be exorcised before someone is murdered and the norms of human decency and mutual respect that we all believe in and treasure are destroyed before our eyes. I believe the vast majority of people in this region are peace loving and law abiding. However, we are now held to ransom by a few unscrupulous individuals who are hugely dangerous. You cannot compromise with evil and violence of this nature.
