No, one is told this was done by a salvage company based in Northern Ireland but it was militia-style. The company is called Salvage Direct and when one checks them on Google, one is told it has limousines for hire but this is what they are up to. Our people, including an ordinary decent young boy of 16 who is studying for his leaving certificate, should not be subjected to such beatings. Were it not for the ambulance and fire brigade people who attended the scene, they could have been left dead on the road. I am worried that someone will be killed unless this kind of militia or third force is stood down and dealt with by the powers that be.
