Visit of Delegation from Dialogue Ireland in January 2009 to Hick’s Tower.

Delegation from Dialogue Ireland in January 2009 to Hick’s Tower, Malahide, Tony Quinn’s base in Dublin.

REASONS FOR D.I. DELEGATION TO TONY QUINN IN JANUARY 2009

For years, DI has attempted to get (Doctor) Tony Quinn to engage in a public debate about his philosophy and organisation but without success.  He refused to participate and refused to send a representative to participate in a conference on Tony Quinn’s Educo system in 2001.  This conference was organised in response to requests for help from DI from many hundreds of individuals who complained of financial rip-off and mental coercion by Tony Quinn.  The Director of DI, Mike Garde has had communications from well over 1.000 individuals over 20 years who informed him about how they had their lives or the lives of family members badly damaged by their exposure to Tony Quinn and his organisation.  Towards the end of 2008, the director of DI was approached by several ex-Educo members who had recently separated from Quinn and were being subjected to severe harassment by Tony Quinn’s organisation.  There were many starting to question the Educo system and Quinn’s behaviour and many others who had recently left the group and who were extremely unhappy and disturbed by the treatment and threats they were receiving.  This trend has continued to the present.  DI was told of what amounted to serious verbal threats made by Quinn towards the director of DI.  These threats were made in the presence of Educoists who later left Quinn and reported these disturbing threats.  The DI website was brought down in late December by a massive sustained attack on the server it used.  In an attempt once again to bring Quinn into public dialogue and debate a DI delegation visited Hick’s Tower in January 2009 but Quinn could not be contacted.  Once again, DI are offering Tony Quinn an opportunity to dialogue and debate in public about his system.  This time DI have the services of Dr. John Butler as one of the experts who are prepared to debate and discuss the Educo with Tony Quinn.  Dr. Butler is a highly qualified authority on mental programming in individuals and groups, mind development and the use and abuse of suggestion and hypnosis.  He has studied the phenomena of cultist groups over many years and carried out field work on many groups to investigate them from an insider perspective and worked with survivors of abusive groups and their families.  He first gave a lecture on these topics for DI at a conference in November 2007.  An audio recording of this talk can be accessed on the DI website at

As you can see there was no door bell or way of communicating with those inside. The Director left his business card. You will note that very little of TQ’s resources have been invested in the property. According to locals it has little investment since TQ purchased it.

This is the infamous Howth House, (5 Church Street) which was sold to Glen O’Callaghan. Many supporters of Quinn have lived there. It is also the place where two young men who were part of the Yoga group who drowned used to live.

Many of you will remember Greg Dyck who was the Director of the BBC. Earlier Dr John Butler was the main consultant in a CH 4

documentary: Greg Dyke investigating uses and abuses of hypnosis in sport entitled “Boxing Clever.”

Thought those of you who have been to the party around Christmas would like to see what the place looks like and find out a bit of history.

You would have been there in the dark.
