Charlie Flanagan, the justice minister, has described as “most chilling and sinister” the revelation that the directors of Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) have been sent a second death threat in the form of a “last warning”. The latest death threat to directors was in the form of a letter delivered to The Irish News newspaper in Northern Ireland, the contents of which were relayed to QIH directors by police on Monday night. The directors were told in the letter they had not learned their lessons after what happened to Mr Lunney. We have the capability and the manpower to see this through until the end and achieve a permanent solution.”The five directors are Kevin Lunney, Tony Lunney, Liam McCaffrey, Dara O’Reilly, and John McCartin. Fianna Fáil justice spokesperson Jim O’Callaghan said the campaign of violence and threats against the directors “should not be tolerated”.
