“It’s something that’s never going to go away. That’s not going to go away, ever'

Ryan Quinn is an enigmatic character. After being given a four-year prison sentence for manslaughter following a one punch killing in Cookstown in 2003, the Co Tyrone man went on to launch a successful gym franchise.

After coming out of prison in 2008 having served his time, Ryan got a loan from the bank to help set up LS Results, a gym in his native Ardboe. The business grew and soon there were franchises in Cookstown and Dungiven. “I went in and couldn’t cook and couldn’t clean – couldn’t wash clothes. I couldn’t do anything for myself. I had to learn all those things very quickly.

“Alcohol has been a big problem in my life, a massive problem. It controlled me, I didn’t control it. It was an addiction for me but I didn’t know why it was an addiction. “Even when the pubs opened again I found myself going there every night. I didn’t know there was anything wrong with me, I hadn’t a clue.
