Fianna Fáil TD for Cavan-Monaghan, Brendan Smith, has condemned in the strongest terms, the attack on Mr. Kevin Lunney, Director and Chief Operating Officer of Quinn Industrial Holdings.

Deputy Smith also said that the thugs who carried out this deplorable attack must be caught and brought to justice as a matter of urgency.

Deputy Smith said, “I utterly condemn the attack which saw Mr. Lunney abducted and brutally assaulted as he was returning to his family home just across the border in Co. Fermanagh.

“This is the latest in a series of attacks on members of Quinn Industrial Holdings and I am particularly concerned that no arrests have been made, either side of the border, to date. It is a campaign of intimidation and the Gardaí and the PSNI must work together to ensure it ends and those responsible are brought to justice.

“I wish Mr. Lunney a speedy recovery, and I am thinking of him and his family at what must be a very frightening time. I reiterate again the need for these reprehensible thugs to be brought to justice and I hope they feel the full force of the law”, concluded Deputy Smith.
