Supporters threaten more protests  over Quinn jailing

A group of around 100 people including Quinn Group workers, former staff, and locals took part in a well-orchestrated and good-humoured blockade of various plants in the Quinn Group which are now outside the family’s control in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, and Derrylin, Co Fermanagh.

Lorries, agricultural machinery, and other large vehicles were used to block the entrances to firms including Quinn Packaging, Quinn Therm, and Quinn Cement.
