Three men convicted in relation to the brutal kidnap and torture of businessman Kevin Lunney have failed in their bid to overturn the courts decision.

Alan Harte, Alan O’Brien, and Darren Redmond were hired during a campaign of intimidation against directors of former Sean Quinn companies and abducted Lunney, broke his leg, and beat him before branding his chest with the letters QIH or Quinn Industrial Holdings.
