He protested that he was only doing his duty, and they replied that they were acting on orders. They tied a copy of the cases in which Mr McEnery is appearing round his body. The taxi pulled up outside the Arbour Hill barracks, where the tribunal sits. The kidnappers bundled Mr McEnery out, tied his hands and feet to the barracks railings, tarred his head and decamped.
