The ongoing attacks against Quinn Industrial Holdings in Derrylin was raised at Tuesday night’s meeting of Fermanagh and Omagh District Councillor with one councillor calling on them to stop.

Ulster Unionist Councillor Alex Baird described his intervention as the meeting in Omagh was concluding as “urgent and relevant in my opinion.”

“For sometime now there has been a series of stacks on the property of Quinn Industrial Holdings and on the property of some of the staff and management, thankfully nobody has been injured or hurt to date.

“What I am proposing is that this Council calls for those attacks to cease immediately and for anybody with information on these attacks to pass it to the relevant police services in the appropriate jurisdictions,” he said.

Councillor Baird’s proposal, which came exactly one week after a petrol bomb attack outside the home of one of the company’s senior managers, was seconded by Councillor Victor Warrington.

Last week a car belonging to the daughter of executive Tony Lunney was set alight outside the family home in Ballyconnell, the second arson attack against key figures at the Derrylin company once owned by businessman Sean Quinn in recent weeks.

In a statement issued to this newspaper QIH Chief Executive Liam McCaffery said: “It is grossly unacceptable that criminals who threaten the lives and wellbeing of staff on both sides of the Border continue to operate with impunity.”

“It is also enormously frustrating that following years of intimidation and threats and a substantial escalation of violence over recent months that not a single arrest has been made,” he said.

Last month a serious arson attack occurred at the home of Mr. Dara O’Reilly, the company’s chief financial officer, shortly after he and his family had retired for the night at their home in Butlersbridge.

The incident involved a petrol torching of the family car which was parked within feet of the rear of family home, below the bedroom windows where Mr. O'Reilly and his wife and two young children were situated.

Last week’s incident came weeks after a suspected arson attack was carried out by persons unknown at a tyre plant in Belturbet linked to the family of a Quinn senior executive.
