‘I will have the imprint of this attack forever’-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.
