Tiger Kidnap - ‘They were looking for me, and looking to rob my shop’

A Cavan shop owner has spoke of how he feared his family would be killed after being kidnapped.

Rodney Dolan, owner of the Centra supermarket in Ballyjamesduff, was asleep in the house, as were his father, brother Gavin, and his brother’s fiancée, when four masked men entered the house and kidnapped them at gunpoint.

Mr Dolan, his brother, and his brother’s fiancée were taken downstairs, put on their knees and their hands tied with cable-ties before being driven to a quarry. Speaking to RTÉ radio, Mr Dolan said the ordeal began just before 2am on Tuesday.
