The brother of Quinn executive Kevin Lunney said on Wednesday the gangsters who kidnapped him need to be “apprehended, convicted and put away”.
Tony Lunney spoke out after his sibling went public about his horror torture ordeal six weeks ago.
The family has now taken “sensible security precautions” but they can only do so much without making daily life impossible.
He said a meeting he had with Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on Tuesday was “constructive”.
He told Sean O’Rourke on RTE Radio One: “The commissioner listened carefully, I was very happy with the way the meeting went.
“He’s very well informed. He has a huge job right across the country to do. I went away from the meeting thinking there’s certainly a committment to get the job done but obviously the results have to flow through yet.
Terrifying
“It’s harder for the authorities to deal with these type of people. They know every loophole in regard to the law, how to drag it out and how to avoid it.
“It is a concern. It’s very difficult at the border even with full
co-operation north and south with the authorities.”
On Sept 17, Mr Lunney was subjected to a terrifying ordeal when he was dragged off at knifepoint, tortured and dumped on a roadway in just his underwear.
The father of six was pulled from his jeep near his Co Fermanagh home and driven across the border in Co Cavan.
There he was forced into a horsebox in a country yard and tortured on the orders of a gangmaster.
He was repeatedly cut and slashed across the face and body with a Stanley knife, doused head to toe in bleach and beaten with a wooden post.
The Quinn Industrial Holdings director said he had the letters QIH carved on his chest. The horror attack lasted two-and-a-half hours.
On Tuesday the 50-year-old spoke publicly about his ordeal for the first time on BBC’s Spotlight.
Earlier that day, Commissioner Harris visited the Quinn plant in Co Cavan to discuss the probe and promised more gardai for the area.
The brutal attack was the latest in a series of attacks on employees and property linked to QIH.
Around 70 incidents have been recorded over the last four years, from graffiti to attacks on cars and company equipment. Last week a masked man read out a statement threatening the five QIH directors.
