“People in the Irish Republic will pay extra on their insurance for many years due to mismanagement at Quinn Insurance, a Dublin court has heard. The Irish government has imposed a 2% levy on all insurance premiums to meet the costs of plugging a financial hole at the company. Expert witnesses were asked why the costs of covering the losses of Quinn Insurance could rise to 1.65bn euro”: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-19165286

The same people marching in support of the greedy, lying Quinns are of the same mindset of the people that elect the likes of Michael Lowry and Phil Hogan. Misguided to the point of compete stupidity. As long as we have people in this country who refuse to see the truth laid down in front of them, we shall remain a backward little banana republic that’s a laughing stock throughout the civilised world.

Also all insurance premiums will go up for generations to pay for them

@rodrigo
“Phil Hogan” ??

Jeez your comment was going so well up to that point.

It must be hard to resist the temptation to take a pop at the people who are trying to clean up the mess, rather than thos who caused it

I lived in Cavan for a while, mad place. They still have moving statues and watch videos of Glenroe every Sunday, no joke! Nice people but stone mad, many have framed pictures of Quinn hanging on the walls of their houses…it’s kinda like a different planet over there, seriously mad….like something out of the Deliverance movie

Right these generalisations about Cavan people may be justified in some respects but not all of us are ‘gombeens’ or ‘sheep’. I won’t be heading anywhere near the rally today. My eyes are well and truly opened to the damned legacy of the Quinns.

What I’d like to know is what is being done about arresting Darragh Quinn? A couple of months ago, I heard a member of the Quinn family say that Darragh “is not on the run, he is sitting at home in his own house in Fermanagh”. By virtue of the fact he is north of the border means he IS on the run. Is there anything the Gardai and PSNI can do to haul him in? Otherwise the Quinns will just make a joke of our justice system. Its as if we just forget about him that the Quinns will think that we will all forget about the fact he was found guilty in a court of law and that we will forget all about having him arrested.

don’t agree at all with tom Curran , i used to come over to Ireland during the 80 with fishing parties from England, we were mainly based in co Cavan, and Fermanagh around Belturbut , Ballybay and Coothill, and i found the people of Cavan to be friendly, and very pleasant, we came over at the hight of the troubles and being from England thought we may encounter some hostility, if fact the the Cavan people were welcoming and hospitable, we came back over a good few times, and in fact i loved it so much that i vowed to settle down here in Ireland, it took me a further 15 yrs to do so and i ended up in south Tipperary not Cavan but the people here are great as well . I hope to go back to Cavan to live in my later years and spend time on the river Erne and its lough’s. the only time i have met any sort of insular ,clannish or aggressive or bigoted behaviour here is in Dublin , the Dubs are like the Londoners, think because they live in the capital the rest of the country doesn’t count.. i dont support the Quinns or their followers but to speak so harshly of the people of Cavan is unfair.

It is so screwed up that people are more concerned with the Quinn family than with actual children’s rights. When they start abducting even more kids than they do today, just hope it’s not your kids they come after .

what’s you web site address brian?

Brian – It might be of interest to you that until last Monday, RTÉ was not bound by any special rules on referendum coverage, because the referendum wasn’t officially happening yet. A referendum only takes place after a polling order is issued, and that didn’t happen until Monday.

Over 6 million followers on twitter for this nob & because he has irish blood albeit diluted he thinks its ok to ridicule us. Shame on whatever university that brought him here. He is smartarsed, unfunny & let’s hope it’s his last visit.

You guys seriously need to grow a sense of humour!
