Spare a thought this Christmas.

 

As the costs of the Quinns’ legal action against the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation continue to add up, Sean Quinn junior says the financial support from locals is “badly needed”.
He told The Impartial Reporter: “There are a number of local business people who have set up a trust fund in Belfast to help us with our litigation. That support was very badly needed and is very much appreciated by me and my family.”

The Mighty Quinn by Tony Bannon

Oh the mighty Quinn from Derrylin
They closed him down it is a sin
The boys up in the Dail don’t give a damn

Oh the mighty Quinn from Derrylin
They closed him down it is a sin
He’s a victim of the Anglo Irish scam

The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation is seeking to have Seán Quinn’s five children put in the witness box so they can be cross-examined about their personal finances.

The State-owned bank is also seeking to have his son’s wife, Karen Woods, and his two sons-in-law, Niall McPartland and Stephen Kelly, quizzed also.

The bank believes the asset-stripping scheme implemented by the family is for the benefit of Quinn’s children and grandchildren, and that the children and their partners have not fully complied with court orders made prior to the summer to disclose all assets and bank accounts in which they have an interest.

Many people from the Border counties of Cavan and Fermanagh gathered for the rally, which got underway after 4pm.

Well-known GAA figures Mickey Harte, Donegal selector Rory Gallagher and Peter Quinn spoke out in support of the family at the rally, organised by the Concerned Irish Citizens group.

Seán Quinn’s wife Patricia and his daughters were among those at the rally. Mr Quinn’s daughter Ciara Quinn told the crowd that the family will succeed and create jobs again and that she and her siblings would not become Anglo scapegoats.

Mr Quinn and his wife Patricia eventually broke down as prayers and a poem were read for their jailed son, Sean Quinn junior.
