The brother of Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) executive Kevin Lunney has told of his horror and anger at hearing details of the assault as revealed in a BBC interview on Tuesday night.

DURING the week, two executives of Quinn Industrial Holdings said the border region was “perilously close” to becoming lawless. During the Troubles, the region was pretty lawless, or so it appeared when novelist Colm Toibin met Seán Quinn in 1987.

Threats against the directors of Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) are "being taken very seriously at the highest level", according to the company's CEO.

The threat follows last month's abduction and torture of Quinn director Kevin Lunney, who is still recovering from his injuries.

A campaign of intimidation against executives at Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) has not ended despite public outrage and increased security following a savage attack on the company’s chief operations officer last month.
