According to lawyers they are willing to go to jail for a short time so they can hang on to the 500 million this is a f..king joke .ill do a year for them for one million no bother

Will we finally start to see something like justice in Ireland? That’d be good.

here’s an idea…one month in jail for every million outstanding. take a month off for every million they pay back. I’d say that would concentrate their minds

Does anyone know what will happen at the end of the 3 months if they don’t comply ? Are they off the hook or will they keep getting prison time until they cooperate ?

Great stuff Ms Dunne.

I’d be sick too if I was facing jail time!!!

The arrogance is just astonishing.

A bit of an auld note from his doctor would have came in handy…

He’s some chancer.

Quite a turn for the books for this greedy shower, amazed at the initial and indeed continuing defence of this family in cavan and surrounds when it is clear they have been playing the system to their own ends and have been caught red handed. It is often forgotten pure greed led to this family empires collapse, not the recession or economic downturn. Humble farmers son my arse!

He better be dying or incapacitated not to make it to court!

Where are all the flag waving Quinn supporters now ?

Now if they could only get Fingers, Ahern, Fitzpatrick etc it would be something

He’s only got six more uncertified sick days for the next two years.

Well, at least that’s one of them definitely doing time…

Ever tried to separate a Cavan man from his money? I’m surprised it’s been this easy.

So the gist of it is this. The 2 Quinn lads go off to Kiev to meet with some dodgy types. One of them makes really damaging comments about lying in court. This is all recorded KGB style. Half a billion (maybe more) is then handed over on the understanding it’ll be handed back once the heat’s off. Now it turns out the Russian mafia have told them to feck off and that they’re keeping the lolly. So Ireland has just been taken to the cleaners.

You need a note from your doctor before the court if you want to excuse yourself from a hearing otherwise, as in this case, the court takes a very dim view of things. I’ve seen bench warrants issued in court before because a solicitor said their client was sick but had no sick note.

On another note, the judge ” directed Gardaí to exercise discretion in the case of genuine illness.” How the hell are they supposed to know if he is sick or not, frog march him down to the local GP? Besides they have better things to be doing than going around the country trying to figure out if a defendant is pulling a sickie or is genuinely ill.

A month in jail for contempt and a €500m payday afterwards? He’d do it on his head!

This arrogance is rampant. 0.1% of it has been highlighted with this case. expect to hear about these types of cases for the next 10 years!

Doctor’s sick cert or else jail him

Check the airports…!

3 months? I’m waiting for the …..and the final 11 weeks are suspended!

“Lawyers for IBRC have reportedly told the court that the three men seemed to be willing to go to jail for a short time in order to hang onto the assests.”

Oh shite, for 500 million so would anyone else.

They should remain in prison until they return the money!

Up there hole. Let them rot in jail. These shits are nothing more than greedy bastards. Even when they had it all they wanted more.

What about Sean Quinn Snr ? Why isn’t he mentioned ?

3 months jail time v’s 500 m worth of assets, I’ll take the 3 months pls.

There is no justice in Ireland, laws only apply to those who can’t afford to get away with it.

Chancer. He should be held in contempt of court.

3 months? They should have got longer sentences

Why was the Godfather himself not sentenced along with his lackies?

He rang in sick, did he ever work for the HSE.

The problem in Irekand with Justice are the High Court and Supreme Court. These are political appointments. Would you bite the hand that feeds you? They allowed the repeat votes in Nice etc remember? That’s when the real damage was done to our sovereignty. Also every TD elected is worth X Milliob to his/her constituency. Decentralisation was a joke web Dublin has 45 TD’s and the entire West coast about the same. How many TDs does it take to represent Tallaght? Shouldn’t be a numbers game alone. Geography should play as much a part. Nothing is done outside of Dublin. But I digress… Why do Paedos get out in three months when their victims are
Sentenced to life? Why are some members of the travelling community allowed more rights than the settled in the eyes of the courts and get released despite the 90th plus offences. Committeed? Why are more people murdered in Dublin than London? Why is a man doing seven years for onion tax instead of garlic tax and people on a manslaughter charge are doing less… On and on of course. Why are we paying barristers kings ransoms for no results as courts don’t make real rulings? Barristers become judges…
Ranting sorry but I am just fuming and have had enough. National week of non-action anyone? Everyone? Little tax statement to gov and Europe. We are very quiet but please show we have teeth people? I am sick of being a periphery pushover. I’m Galway, I’m Irish, I’m black and I’m proud!! Please discuss… Anyone?!

Him and Mick Wallace can be cell mates!!! Oh wait no if you’ve a seat in the dail you get a free pass…..

Gonna get many thumbs down for this, but this story really exposes “The Journal” as being a very LAZY and PARASITIC news organisation. This was possibly the biggest court story in a long time, and they didn’t send someone to the court??

I suppose, why bother when the law allows them to simply rewrite what real journalists publish.

Maybe a sick note from his mammy will suffice

Give them all 25yrs,plus and demand they hand over all their assets…will it happen?…will jedward win Eurovision!!..

So corrupt Ireland lets Corrupt Senior Sean Quinn off, oh what a surprise.

Would do 3 months on my hands for €500 million.

? 500 million or 3 months jail. Am I will take the 3 months at least I will have my ? 500 million when I get out. That will pay for my counselling after it.

Put him in the right cell and he will not be long telling the truth.

Toora ,never a truer word said!

Put em in jail indefinitely until they tell the truth about what they’re doing with our money….

You ain’t seen nothing like the mighty Quinn.

Maybe the jail’s resident physco can offer the boys a bit of ‘insurance protection’ for say…. perhaps €500 million

Wow god love anyone who gets ahead the level of begrudgers and stupidity here makes me think no wonder we have economic crisis on this rich and wonderful land.

How easy sad and sick to kick and rob a man when he is down. Shame on every single one of you.

3 months in jail. Big deal. I’d happily go to prison for 20 years for €500 million!

Flushing money businesses people and more down the Anglo toilet the fools cheering this don’t seem to understand their jobs businesses homes and life are headed for same toilet

True saying when your down everyone wants to kick you.

Well done, Judge. Would you care to search in Google for ‘Windle stops swindle’ and jail other pillars of society?

Cheers

The words criminologist use to describe their actions:
“Organized Crime”

Ireland had been taken over by several organized crime syndicates, and as long as you stand by and do nothing, they will continue to flourish once the current situation blows over. The medical solution would be 128 grains of Pb applied topically to the knees. Rinse and repeat.
