With 50 convictions to his name at the time of his death, Cyril 'Dublin Jimmy' McGuinness was the puppet master of one of the most sadistic and shocking crimes in Ireland's recent history: The 2019 kidnapping and torture of businessman Kevin Lunney. McGuinness' links to the underworld stretched far and wide, and he developed a reputation as a shrewd criminal who was able to get the job done, so long as it was for the right price. Despite his death five years ago, Dublin Jimmy continues to make headlines - the latest in a series of court cases linked to him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Sean Quinn knows exactly what he did but chooses not to understand. It's very easy for him to find others are to blame.”Enniskillen-born filmmaker, Trevor Birney, has spent five years on his documentary, Quinn Country, which aired on RTE late last year. The three-part series paints a visceral portrait of a man haunted by feelings of injustice and betrayal; not least in part due to the contributions from the former billionaire himself, from his palatial home in Co. Cavan.The documentary charts the rise and fall of Quinn and his business empire, with a particular focus on his Anglo Irish Bank gamble and the violent attack on former Quinn executive, Kevin Lunney.In a story to rival a Shakespearean drama, Birney skilfully pulls all the strands of the complicated story together in one place.Here he speaks to In The News about his many hours of interviews with Sean Quinn, filming during outbreaks of vigilante violence, and the fatal character flaw that brought down one of the titans of Irish business.Also on this episode is Irish Times Public Affairs Editor Simon Carswell.

Vuoden 2019 syyskuussa 50-vuotias Kevin Lunney kidnapattiin oman kotitalonsa edestä, kun hän oli tulossa töistä kotiin.

He is said to have been the most injured Mr Lunney, being taken to the scene of the atrocity on September 17, 2019. Deirtear gurbh eisean ba mhó a ghortaigh an tUasal Lunney, agus é tugtha go láthair an uafáis ar an 17 Meán Fómhair 2019. Alan O'Brien (40) and Darren Redmond (27), both from the East Wall in Dublin, were also sentenced by the Special Criminal Court.

O'Brien was 25 years old, and it was rumored that he had a close connection with YZ and also abused Kevin Lunney. 25 bliain a fuair O'Brien, agus é ráite faoisean go raibh ceangal dlúth aige le YZ agus gur thug sé drochíde freisin do Kevin Lunney. Redmond, who was told he could be under the influence of the other two, was sentenced to 15 years. 15 bliain a gearradh ar Redmond, a ndúradh faoi go bhféadfadh sé a bheith faoi dhroch-thionchar na beirte eile. Kevin Lunney was abducted on his way home from work in County Fermanagh at the time of his abduction. Ba ag filleadh abhaile óna chuid oibre i gContaeFhear Manach a bhí Kevin Lunney nuair a fuadaíodh é. He was taken across the border to County Cavan, and abused in a horse trailer. Tugadh trasna na teorann é go Contaean Chabháin, agus tugadh an drochíde dó i leantóir capall. His work as a senior executive with Quinn Industrial Holdings is said to have been linked to his experiences. Deirtear go raibh baint ag a chuid oibre mar fheidhmeannach sinsearach leis an gcomhlacht Quinn Industrial Holdings le gach ar tharla dó.
A man known as YZ, who can't be named by court order, has been jailed for thirty years for his “lead role” in the abduction and torture of Kevin Lunney.

'Beidh rian an ionsaithe seo orm go brách'-Kevin Lunney. Businessman Kevin Lunney, who was abducted and badly battered in County Cavan 2 years ago, has said that the traces of that attack will remain with him both physically and emotionally. Tá sé ráite ag an bhfear gnó,Kevin Lunney, a fuadaíodh agus a batráileadh go dona i gContaean Chábháin 2 bhliain ó shin, go bhfanfaidh rian an ionsaithe sin leis go fisiciúil agus ó thaobh a chuid mothúchán de. In a victim impact statement, which a guard read out on his behalf in court, Kevin Lunney said this attack was the icing on an intimidation campaign against the Quinn Industrial Holdings company. I ráiteas tionchair íospartaigh, a léigh garda amach thar a cheann sa chúirt, dúirt Kevin Lunney gurbh é an t-ionsaí seo an sméar mullaigh ar fheachtas imeaglaithe in aghaidh an chomhlachta cén Quinn Industrial Holdings. However, he said that he did not understand why the three men had attacked him; 'I did not know them and they did not know me' he said. Dúirt sé áfach nár thuig sé cén fáth a ndearna an triúr fear ionsaí dá léithid; 'ní raibh aon aithne agam orthu agus ní raibh aon aithne acu orm' a dúirt sé. Following the attack, Kevin Lunney was left on the side of the road. I ndiaidh an ionsaithe,fágadh Kevin Lunney ar thaobh an bhóthair. The three convicts are to be sentenced in the Special Criminal Court: Alan O'Brien (40), Darren Redmond (27), both from the East Wall in Dublin, and another man who cannot be named for unlawful imprisonment and the ill-treatment they inflicted on Mr Lunney on 17 September 2019. Tá píonós le gearradh sa Chúirt Choiriúil Speisialta ar an triúr atá ciontaithe: Alan O'Brien (40), Darren Redmond (27), ar ón Bhalla Thoir i mBaile Átha Cliath iad beirt, agus fear eile nach féidir a ainmniú as príosúnú mídhleathach agus an droch-bhail a chur siad ar an Uasal Lunney ar an 17Meán Fómhair 2019. This will now take place on 20 December 2021. Is ar an 20Nollaig 2021 a dhéanfar sin anois. Submissions on behalf of the trio were made to the court today. Cuireadh aighneachtaí ar son an triúir faoi bhráid na cúirte inniu.
He was the one-time billionaire and the pride of his native Cavan, where a generation of workers shared the spoils of his success. Businessman Sean Quinn was said to have built an empire on a mountain but always remembered his humble beginnings and was at his happiest sharing lunch with factory workers and playing cards with old pals. So, what has it been like to watch the fall of the Mighty Quinn amid the horror of the kidnap and torture of his former executive Kevin Lunney? Who is the man with two faces and what do his one time supporters think of him now? Nicola Tallant talks to Sunday Independent reporter Rodney Edwards, who has covered the Quinn story for over a decade as a local who grew up under the legend of the business giant. He tells me how a generation of workers who once backed Quinn have now moved on from the businessman's dreams of a return to power.
He was the violent enforcer of Slieve Rusheen who operated with impunity for more than eight years terrorising ‘traitors' who turned on the mighty Sean Quinn. His death from a massive heart attack as UK cops raided his Derbyshire hideaway two years ago played out like the final dramatic scenes of a John B Keane play. But the end for 'Dublin Jimmy', aka Cyril McGuinness, only marked the beginning of an armageddon for his tribe and this week three hired help were convicted in the Special Criminal Court of the kidnap and torture of company executive Kevin Lunney. Today, I'm talking to Sunday World Deputy Editor, Niall Donald, about about the late 'Dublin Jimmy' and where he found the mercenaries to carry one of the most shocking incidents in Irish criminal history.

Fuarthas an 4ú fear neamhchiontach, sin é Luke O'Reilly (68) as Cill Chóige sa Chabhán. But Alan O'Brien (40) and Darren Redmond (27) of the East Wall in Dublin were convicted of this serious crime. Ach ciontaíodh Alan O'Brien (40) agus Darren Redmond (27) ón mBalla Thoir i mBaile Átha Cliath sa choir thromchúiseach seo. Another man was also found guilty of this grievous bodily harm.

Mr. Lunney was a director of Quinn Industrial Holdings at the time. Bhí an tUasal Lunney ina stiúrthóir ar Quinn Industrial Holdings ag an am. Judge Tony Hunt said he was pleased that the black Audi that hung Kevin Lunney out of his residence on September 17, 2019 was driven by YZ. Dúirt an Breitheamh Tony Hunt go raibh sé sásta gurb é YZ a thiomáin an Audi dubh a chroch leis Kevin Lunney amach as a theach cónaithe ar an 17Meán Fómhair 2019. It was also assumed that YZ was the next to give most of the splendor to Kevin Lunney and the businessman was held hostage in a horse truck. Glacadh leis freisin a dúradh gurbh é YZ ba mhó a thug an spídiúlacht do Kevin Lunney ina dhiaidh sin agus an fear gnó coinnithe mar ghiall i dtrucail do chapaill. Kevin Lunney then suffered a concussion, broke his legs and was then left by the side of the road in County Cavan. Fuair Kevin Lunney droch-bhualadh ansin, briseadh a chosa agus fágadh ansin é le taobh an bhóthair i gContae An Chabháin. Kevin Lunney Got A Bad Beat In September 2019

On Tuesday 17 September, Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) director Kevin Lunney was abducted on his way home. He was taken to another location where he was savagely assaulted. Lunney was then left at the side of the road in Co Cavan. Gardaí now believe that a gang led by a former IRA member with a string of convictions was behind the planning of the attack. QIH is a well-known company in Cavan - it was established in 2014 and comprises elements of businessman Sean Quinn's former businesses. This latest attack was the most severe of a number of incidents which have targeted QIH in recent years. There have been over 70 reported incidents, including arson attacks and bullets being sent to a contractor. What has been happening with these attacks? Do investigators know why QIH is being targeted? And what do locals think about things have progressed?
NOBODY could benefit from the disruption caused by attacks on people linked to Quinn Industrial Holdings, a former minister from the region has said. Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith says locals don't know who would hire a gang to abduct and assault businessman Kevin Lunney. Asked who stands to benefit from such incidents, Mr Smith said: “Nobody can benefit from that.” In conversation with IMN Group Political Editor Kevin Doyle and Irish Independent columnist John Downing on the ‘Floating Voter' podcast, the long-served politician for Cavan/Monaghan said the community are “very angry”. He said people “believed we were gone from the era of people being abducted, injuries being inflicted on a person and then that person being dumped on the side of a road”. “As a community we are not going back to that era. Our communities both north and south will not tolerate that,” he said. The podcast also looked at the latest drama in the Brexit shenanigans after the House of Commons was recalled. Mr Downing describes recent events as “utterly insane” and “distressing to look at”. He predicted Brexit is now likely to be delayed beyond October 31 and that Boris Johnson may even temporarily set aside as Prime Minister until an election.
