Well at least they went down with all remaining guns blazing. Unlike your shower of cunts who’ll be blaming all and sundry for their demise. The supporters of the Swampies excelled themselves in Croke Park, the pubs around HQ in the aftermath and later on on social media. It takes two to tango but the rapport between the Dubs and the Fermanagh fans last evening in the aftermath was heartwaming…

Three leading US investment funds who bought bankrupt Seán Quinn’s businesses in Cavan and Fermanagh have demanded the former billionaire speaks out against an “escalating” campaign of violence and intimidation.
Brigade Capital, Contrarian Capital and Silver Point Capital said the attacks on its operations and on local management “adversely impact our willingness to continue to invest and grow”.
However, in an email to local management last month, the investors in Quinn Industrial Holdings Limited (QIHL) equally insisted that “they will in no way be intimidated”.
Mr Quinn is currently a €500,000-a-year adviser to the company.
A series of attacks and vandalism on factories, homes and wind turbines has prompted investigations by the Garda Síochána and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
The Danish ambassador has also called on the Department of Justice for protection for Danish engineers installing Vesta wind turbines for QIHL along the Border.
Despite Mr Quinn’s wish to regain control of the companies, the US hedge funds made clear that they currently have “no appetite for Seán’s role expanding beyond the advisory relationship already in place”.
He must “rectify” his relationship with local management and “take an active approach, demonstrable over time” against “ increasingly negative activity” if he is “to become bankable in the finance community again”, their email stated. Recent developments “have done nothing but move Seán further away from his goal” and “are downright detrimental” to his own interests, the US investors declared.
In a meeting last month, Mr Quinn’s adviser, Ronan Barrett, told them “Seán has grown increasingly uncomfortable” with his role as an adviser and “ has a strong desire to acquire ownership”.
The email, seen by the Enniskillen-based Impartial Reporter, accuses Mr Quinn of trying to foment division among the local senior management team, which is led by his former deputy, Liam McCaffrey.
Mr Quinn did not respond to requests for comment.
What a fucking country
You’d have the question the wisdom of
a) getting advice from him after he’s already ran the company into the ground once.
b) paying him 500k a year for that advice.
I’d say he adds a lot of value for that.
He had to get the company to that stage, to then run it into the ground. The ballsy guys take the big risks. What are the odds of it happening again.
I’d have thought he’d have called off the dogs for 500 grand a year. Some balls.
There’s something ironic, in an Alanis Morrissette kind of a way, about gold being found in Cavan. The miserable mean fucks have been sitting on a fortune all along and they never knew.

They found it in mayo too back in the day. Croagh Patrick iirc.
More likely to become a pan-yer-own diversion for the kids whilst the parents stare at the rain and weep internally in the coffee shop than a viable mine I suspect.
I never knew Colm Cooper was on Blackboard Jungle
Apparently his team were beaten up a stick by Pat’s Academy Dungannon

Businessman abducted and beaten up in Derrylin overnight. Presume it’s an executive from the former Quinn Group.
Who’s suspected as being behind these attacks?
They haven’t gone away, you know…
Some seriously deluded people
Cavan and Fermanagh can get fucked
Fermanagh people are generally sound.
Cavan, hmmmm.
