Episode 370: Sunday World is 50 - Daragh Keany

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.

Defence lawyers working for the men say they will now launch an appeal against the length of their sentences which were 30, 28, and 18 years respectively.
