On 20 October 2007, Paul Quinn (21), a native of Cullyhanna, County Armagh, was lured to a farm at Tullycoora, near Oram in County Monaghan, where three of his friends were held hostage. When he arrived at the farm, a group of some ten or more men beat him with iron and nail-studded bars for upwards of half an hour, breaking every major bone in his body. He was taken at around 18:00 to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, where he died two hours later. Quinn's parents, Breege and Stephen, have said that members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army's South Armagh Brigade were responsible. Their son had had "run-ins with the Cullyhanna ASU on a number of occasions", and had "floored" the son of one of the active service unit (ASU) leaders in a pub row. Following the incident, the mother of the young man appeared at Quinn's family home with a hammer in her hand and told the family their son would have to leave Ireland. Quinn's murder is believed to have arisen as a result of a dispute between Quinn and the local IRA.
Seen Jinx on Tommy Tiernan show sat night. Recognised the name in the intro but didnt know his music. He played "pushing the patients round". I've been trawling youtube for him since. Blew my mind there is someone out there so REAL! someone I can relate to. Inspiring stuff. Cant believe I haven't found this man sooner.
