Quinn refutes article claims

THE Quinn Group says it has only used “long-standing reputable contractors” whose standing or credibility had never before been in question.

In a statement responding to articles in the Sunday Times of August 14, the group said it is not aware, and has never been aware, of any of its contractors having links to paramilitary organisations or being involved in subversive activities

The articles, the statement said, suggested contractors of the Quinn Group were “linked to republican paramilitaries and smugglers are the prime suspects for a series of attacks on the company and the senior management team”.
