Fermanagh man Cyril McGuinness. Known as Dublin Jimmy. Worst nickname ever. Was Fermanagh Cyril already taken?!  ;D

I wouldn't claim to be fully up to speed with the whole history of this but is it just me or does it seem like this has all stepped up several gears since the Spotlight programme. Seems like it has pressured the cops on all sides to get their fingers out now that Kevin Lunney has gone public and described his awful ordeal. Or am I just being too cynical and is this the accumulation of months of work which just so happens to coincide with the Spotlight programme. Never any such thing as a coincidence in my book.

Certainly looks that way, just reading that Dublin Jimmy had run ins with Garda officers before, perhaps they just didn't want to go near this guy for fear of reprisal.

Perhaps it raises questions about the previous structure of the business and whether there was more than a single layer of ownership.

A firm kick on the hole will do that. I don't blame Lunny for going public, he probably didn't even want to. But something is at least being done anyway.

At first I thought it was some kind of republican gang behind it, but after watching the spotlight show seems like it was amateur hour, holding him up instead of cable ties, then cable tied, then had to cut cable ties to take off the jacket. Maybe I'm giving the aforementioned Republican gangs too much credit but thought they might be a bit 'slicker'....for want of a better word/

I hear the premises raided in Derrylin/ Teemore are linked to the family of the person involved in the incident earlier in the year where KL got his nose broke.

Listening to the victims account the other night it seems a bit of an amateur job myself. Especially when it only occurred to them during the event to go and buy some bleach

The events of this case like those in Essex are utterly repellent but a potential upside is the routing of the type of scumbags that have lorded it around the border area for too long

I've heard locally that it was his Dublin accent that gave rise to the nickname.

I'm not going by the Internet. He is originally from Swords, sure talk to anyone from Ballyconnell or Derrylin and they will tell you.
