Two directors of the Co Cavan-based Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) warned on Wednesday evening that the Border region is “perilously close” to becoming lawless and could become “ungovernable” unless threats against the company’s directors are dealt with. Mr Lunney returned to the company’s offices for a brief period on Wednesday in what was his first visit since he was attacked. “Obviously he’s got a way to go in terms of his physical recovery but he’s in good spirits,” he said. Additional security precautions have been implemented at QIH buildings, and particularly at the offices of the company’s executives. John McCartin, who was among those named in Monday’s threat, said it was “abundantly clear” that those responsible were now “emboldened”.
