I grew up in Cavan around this time and while I was young and had no idea what was happening. I was aware of a businessman called Sean Quinn that everyone loved who ended up in prison. When I was a kid I thought he was arrested for being too rich.
To be fair, he was the main employer in he's area, which was largely forgotten by the government. He gave well paying jobs, was the main funder of community programs and as I was told by a local generally kept the local area alive when most areas had mass immigration of younger people out of them to bigger cities.

I knew those type of people, had a bunch of land, family had a business on that land, that they'd one day owe, and school didn;t matter they had a job for life, and a plot of land already that their family will help them build a house on when its time, they were small town rich....
I take it you’re not from Ireland? My father and mother were brought up on farms not far from here, the land is shocking infertile and it rains most of year. They were shockingly poor. Porridge for dinner most days.
The other two replies you have are generally correct however not in this specific case. When you said "and I am sure all that Farm land is what kick started his business" you were spot on. His first business was Quinn Cement which he formed after extracting and selling gravel from his family farm. So yes, the farm land itself was the starting capital he used.

Guess Quinn and Trump would be best friends, as they have so much in common.
Trump’s America was great

This is great journalism. NETFLIX, MAKE THIS INTO A SHOW!!!!
They can't because the truth will certainly revolve around SF IRA and guess who the biggest supporter of SF IRA is then and today? It's the woke asshats in the DNC like Joe Biden. A far left Californian company will never publish anything that paints the Democrats in a bad light, they're too busy being a mouth piece for the Duchess of Duplicity
Nice choereograhy, pretty scary stuff.

“County fuh-maa-naa” lol its fermanagh lads
Brits can’t say it right

@@sadmanhusain4846 lol like I’m gonna tell a lad called Husain tell me who is and isn’t Irish
@@dairebeare7839 I'm English, and I live in England. The Americans' are the people who get it wrong, you're just ignorant that the English language is a derivative within American society but the English people, living in England are apparently the people who are talking incorrectly; ignorance at its finest.
@@sadmanhusain4846 No you're wrong, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the name of the country, making him Irish not British.
Sean quinn told the irish government that he would pay every penny he owed back in 10 years!! They should have let him..
quinn is worth -3 billon but still has more nmoney than me
Its the market my friend
There exist no border in Ireland, exept the sea.
I will stretch to say there exists an IMPOSED border on Ireland
@@cianmcguire5647 There are lots of saxons in Ulster, but no border, it doesn't exist.
@@POLITICUS-DANICUS when I worked in straban? Everyone made it very clear they were from the North of Ireland and not northern ireland
@@christycullen2355 yea, saxon colonizers.
We’re very flattered you want to rejoin the Union, but it’ll be a difficult sell with the British taxpayer.
A chilling and horrific story.
So basically Quinn is the villain from Roadhouse.
Wasn't too different to somebody losing an election recently.
Justice for Harry Dunn.
Never forget. Never Forgive.
there's a weird irony that Quinn group tried to get out of dogde but the people working for them are preventing that from happening.
3 network sharing data with government on the movement of people in Ireland
Yeah I'd go with that 100 percent
Hmmm u serious bro?
Looking at this now from MSM on a self made man, I have a total suspicion as to its validity.
Wheres the Quinn interview?🙄
It wasn’t filmed. They were just collecting quotes for the story
the man done all this to him self he has said it him self now we are paying for it
You are very naive to think that that AIB/BOI bailouts weren't bigger.
And you guys thought the Irish Mob was gone.
Just the lads having some craic, that’s all. No harm done.
“The Irish Lex Luthor”? 🤔
Sean Quinn made Quin insurance which was the only competition to drive down Irish sky high motor insurance which meant us young drivers at the time could drive powerful Japanese imports so I am happy he was a part of our history.
Perhaps you should examine the reason Quinn Insurance was able to give you that cheap insurance. In fact we are all still paying for that right now.
You’re either joking (which I hope you are for the sake of humanity and your pride) or just plain stupid. I can’t decide.
@@aidanoleary636 That is true; we are still paying for the Quinn Insurance debacle.
You’re obviously not the brightest tool in the box, so I’ll give you a pass.
@@racheltaaffe8357 Do you realise how much your needless nasty comment says about you?
Left school at age 14 or 15. Became an billionaire & lost it all ??? He's not a victim he's a mark...
Quinn was renowned for looking after the people of his area. Hedge funds renowned for the opposite. Its a big assumption to make that those kidnappers got paid . There is a very localised aspect brushed over in this and It seems more like a chieftain and invaders story .
He also has supporters that seem to like kidnapping people - stand up guy alright, I know I’d like to have his kind arouns
@@renewklear just highlighting what seemed to be missing from this piece . You'd be mistaken if you felt i was condoning kidnaping and violence. Very mistaken .
You really do live in a fantasy world. All honour based then? Gobshite

Three men were just sentenced today

Both sides used Dublin jimmy when they needed him
a farm is rich these days... Grow up poor on a Farm, Ha! You grow up poor in apartments, and I am sure all that Farm land is what kick started his business, and he didn't need to go to school, he already had a Job for life on that land that was his families! he was Rich! And always was by small town standards, or apartment dwellers. I knew those type of people, had a bunch of land, family had a business on that land, that they'd one day owe, and school didn;t matter they had a job for life, and a plot of land already that their family will help them build a house on when its time, they were small town rich....
I take it you’re not from Ireland? My father and mother were brought up on farms not far from here, the land is shocking infertile and it rains most of year. They were shockingly poor. Porridge for dinner most days.
The other two replies you have are generally correct however not in this specific case. When you said "and I am sure all that Farm land is what kick started his business" you were spot on.
His first business was Quinn Cement which he formed after extracting and selling gravel from his family farm. So yes, the farm land itself was the starting capital he used.
Randy Ross did you ever stop to think that maybe this guy had just some serious drive to get to the top ? or are you one of these guys that's jealous of others that have money and you don't because you couldn't be bothered getting up off your ass ??
@@YoreYore-xq7kz Serious drive to reach the top... like the psycopath he actually is.
The facts are literally in your face, the man had resources to sell handed to him, he had 'business' connections before a business and almost certainly connections with organized crime.
If you think he was just like any other businessman, then you don't know anything about how things work around the Irish border.
Hell you're still defending the guy after his 'serious drive' made him tank his entire business and risk the jobs of thousands, ending in him blatantly having his hardmen torture and harrass his old employees.
I guess gambling millions at the height of a debt bubble though is what smart clever business boys do.
Wow, I remember the story on the news, I thought they just kidnapped him, didn't know they tortured him
Lmao did you think they tickled him
@@ciarand2823 😂😂😂😂
Was a warning! If you must hurt a man it must be so severe that he will not come back. This torture was not severe by Irish standards. Looks like amateurs torture!
I wonder how Brexit is going to pan out on the island of Ireland?
VAT is being charged on certain parcels and stuff from the UK.
I'd be more worried about the island of Great Britain, if Scotland and Northern Ireland vote for independence.
@@Peannlui I'll be voting for independence for Scotland, and reentry into the EU.
This guy got screwed by the stonk market
When I came on the vid and heard the voice, I thought it was Ross Kemp lol
I live in the area. There are issues with Quinn that have never been made public. I'll leave it at that.
it's the internet, you can say whatever you want
Yes speak the truth
@@alexm566 He's talking about the sheep shaggin
Stay away from leverage kids
Cyril McGuinness the main kidnapper died of a heart attack on the 8th of November 2019. The Derbyshire police in England raided his Derbyshire hideout and he died.
ya really think hes dead,,, lol
Why are they going after him big global corps benefited from his downfall the Irish people were liable for any of this debt they intensionally handed Ireland to the imf blackmail
So Alan Dukes was RIGHT.
Don't risk something you aren't willing to loose
That’s why I use elastic rope as a belt.
Sounds like trumps Irish cousin
2:32 my people, my group....come all ye named Quinn, let us return to our homeland.
"I never took a penny that wasn't mine". You'er a capitalist, Sean. Yes you did
Absolutely stupid and ignorant comment, try working sometime you might find it liberating
@@mrmc2465 They're not called the workign class for nothing you total bell end. Also, you have zero understanding of how capitalism survives if the concept of an owner exploiting the labour value of the worker to make a profit is completely alien to you.
Just another vulture capitalist.

Only much worse
