Is Justice a Dirty Word?

Is Justice a Dirty Word?

The weeks, months and years roll on since the worse decision ever made in Irish corporate history,  a decision that cost this country billions and bondholders loosing over 75% of their equity in Quinn Group because of a deal concocted between the Irish Government, Murdoch McKillop and Anglo Irish Bank that went terribly wrong. Yet no one has ever taken any blame for the wasteful money spent by Anglo Irish Bank intimidating the Quinn’s.

Somehow during these early days the Governments managed to make sure no politicians North or South would step out of line and they set about trying to destroy Sean Quinn, his family and then his friends and neighbours using whatever  means possible while pretending they were in the shadows and oblivious to it all.

The work force kept their heads below radar and worked clandestinely to make sure the administrators put in place would never achieve anything from the takeover. That  worked 100%.

Anglo set out to destroy Sean Quinn and their intention was to leave him with nothing after planning the takeover for over one full year. They expected  trouble on the day of the takeover but like any good guerrilla army who know when the odds are against them, “they just retreat and fight a rear-guard action”.

After the takeover, day after day we were bombasticed by the media about big bad Sean Quinn but they forgot about Social Media and its power.

Whatever they threw at us was thrown back 100% more powerful and this message was getting across because of the power of social media sites.

Stats from these sites were showing who and where this was read and the mainstream media had no answer to this.

When a rally was called for in Ballyconnell on a Thursday evening for the next Sunday evening and ten thousand attended they knew finally they had lost the media battle.

A few die hard's still try to slander us all but not many are now listening to them at last the TRUTH is finally coming out bit by bit what really happened.  At the various tribunals we are discovering who the real culprits are and now many journalists who were once anti Sean Quinn have now started to do serious research and not just take what they are dealt  and are once again writing positively about him once again.

Each day we hear from different Tribunals the real facts of what was going on and who sanctioned what and when but still some try and say it was all Sean Quinn’s fault.

It seems nobody in Government is prepared to do the right thing and admit what they did was wrong and based on inaccurate information from the Regulator who was so powerful no one in Government dared question him for fear what would happen markets.

Still they try and cover-up what Anglo Irish Bank was doing by propping up their own shares and who would really blame Anglo as that was the norm for these banks but when they scapegoat someone and ruin a great company put hundreds on the dole and hundreds emigrate then a spade is a spade and someone has to take the blame within the organisation but trying to push it onto Sean Quinn is morally wrong.

They took a huge company generation hundreds of millions of turnover each year spread across the Europe and Asia and nearly made it worthless. Companies sold off for €1 and millions giving to very dubious outfits in Russia to recover assets that no courts has ever ruled on who actually is the rightful owner. Yet we still hear the same old rhetoric about Sean Quinn putting assets beyond reach of the courts.

Now we are seeing the fruits of this sell off such as Quinn Insurance to Liberty with big insurance price hikes coming down the line. All blamed on Sean Quinn.

It’s as if the Government who are the real power broker here don’t care how much they spend or squander as long as they keep the rotten system in place.

Many will remark how present and past governments all protect each other from all serious wrong doings. Now and again they hang a few out when they are left with no choice but they do everything to protect the system.

While politicians and governments will come and go, the SAGA of Sean Quinn  and his family will not leave the arena and someday Justice will be done whither we are around or not to see it.

It would be the right and proper thing to do if someone in Government took the decision that once and for all they must sort out the Quinn’s and the great injustice that they bestowed on them.
