    Surely, if he had protection in the regulators office, and this has ended up costing the Irish people millions.... Should there not be prosecutions?

    There would not be nearly as many jobs, enterprise and development, today in the Leitrim, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monaghan area and beyond if it werent for the legacy of Quinn.

      This is completely true and not in dispute as far as I can see. Unfortunately, he took out loans against those companies to cover the loses incurred by his gamble on Anglo Irish Shares. It is hugely regrettable that as those shares became worthless, Quinn lost control of his assets which secured those loans. It is unfortunate and simple in equal measure. Even more regrettable is that more was not done to dampen down the anger that ultimately lead to Kevin Lunney's brutal assault.

      Duh, that makes all of the corruption, skulduggery, theft and violence okay then. Wonder if you or your family were left ruined or beaten half to death by this scumbag would you still feel the same way? Back to bed Bernie. Silly old goat.

    Who are the bad men in this? Is it Quinn? Is it Lunney, or the RA? I'm confused!

    I'm kind of a bit puzzled maybe surprised but possibly think he didn't really understand politics..maybe a leaf out of CKs book and he would have been still floating 🤔
