In a statement, the family of Mr Quinn said it was “absolutely horrified” by the attack, “and angered that our former ownership of those businesses is being associated in any way with such abhorrent acts”.
He said that while one line of enquiry was that it was linked to the previous incidents, at this point he did not know if they were connected. “The only link is that Mr Lunney is the director of QIH, and you would make the assumption it has to be something to do with that particular context,” he said.Gardaí believe a hardcore and violent group, vehemently opposed to the Quinn companies being run by new management and the manner in which the companies were being run, is behind the campaign of violence.
In a statement, the chairman of QIH, Adrian Barden, challenged the police on both sides of the Border and said they had failed to arrest anyone in connection with the intimidation of the company’s staff. “Like many of his colleagues, I am frustrated and angry that more has not been done to protect Kevin who will require some considerable time to recover from the very severe injuries sustained in this brutal attack.
