PAPA PAUL O'BRIEN TRIPS HIMSELF UP AGAIN WITH LIES.

Paul O'Brien interview on the front page of the Sunday Business Post reveals the true character of the man. He speaks about the local bid for Quinn Glass and states "No locally funded bid had been made beyond a letter of interest and the promise of a fully funded bid was not forthcoming".

Later on in the article he says, "They're crying foul that we didn't give them information related to the sale but to be honest (O'Brien does not know the meaning of the word honest, it appears) we didn't know who the Management was, where the funding was going to come from and we dont give information to any anonymous organization. But that chapter is closed".

1 Well Mr. O'Brien, how can anybody who has been denied the financials of a company that they have stated they want to buy, provide confirmation of funding for that company without the very core essentials? Did the other bidders provide confirmation of funding without the financial documentation? Why was due diligence and proper procedures not followed in this case?

2 O'Brien says "We dont give information to any anonymous organization". This is where the blatant lies catch up with him. Presumably the letter of interest was signed by an individual(s) and therefore it was not anonymous. If he had not been determined to discard the local bid, he could have sought more information and indeed if O'Brien had any regard for the workforce, the community or indeed fair procedure, he would not have ensured that that note of interest was discarded inappropriately. One has to wonder what lies Vidrala were fed about the company and the strength of feelings in the entire region about the sale of Quinn Glass.

Finally, O'Brien says that his "presence in Fermanagh is not longer needed". Let us be absolutely clear Paul O'Brien, "Your presence in Fermanagh was NEVER NEEDED and we are so much the worse off after the trail of destruction that you have left in your wake. 

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish!"
