you are an IMBECILE and everyone on this forum knows it....NAP

PRIMETIME NOW RTE 1

no bigger clown than yourself bird......

Quinns sending out the women now

haha hilarious stuff, comedy gold on RTE.

Desperate stuff alright bringing mother goose out

Miriam Meets moves from Radio to TV.

Seems to be alot more to this than many of you understand.
On a lighter note Claire is absolutely gorgeous, and where did she come from ?

they also share a mutual hatred of sinn fein........

The Quinns seen the easy money, sure they never even bothered reading the loan agreements for these vast amounts of money. We should have no sympathy for these  gambling aristocrats with their 100 million wedding cakes. Royalty would not even have cakes costing that much. If they don't get the Quinn's then maybe we should stop paying the money we owe the banks.

Paddletoe is not Rocketfingers,whilst I disagree with him on this issue his points are legitimate and well made something you could never say about Rocketfingers,there are no childish words in paddletoes post and judging by some of his other posts of a different species to the dull bucolic Rocketfingers

On second thoughts, if they were watching, it might have a seriously detrimental effect on their composure this evening :

Any chance Niall Quinn could come out of retirement ? 

"Gott in Himmel, QUINNLANDER !!"

Why?A man loses his stones on a cfd trade,pleads ignorance and lets his son rot in jail.
Hail modest king Sean because he plays poker for 50 pence?

no im fkn deadly serious........the family completely screwed over by anglo and the press are very selective on what they are tellin the public.....

Nothing more than glorified gamblers, worked hard to build their empire whatever way you look at it but then took their eye off the ball, greed proved to be their achilles heel and then they chased like everyone else. Now they should take their punishment instead of fobbing it off on the Irish taxpayer

If the Quinn family screamed the magic word at the start they would still be living the good life........NAMA.

jay u r not allowed to mention things like that or people like dukes on here......this is a state witchhunt against the quinns and dont 4get that.....the truth will come out in this saga and the quinns are quite confident that it will.......dont get me wrong the quinn group got greedy but there is more to this than the dublin press would lead the sheep to believe......

Alan Dukes laden down with pensions when asked about the pay rates in Anglo Irish stated it was no ones business but his,he seems to think it is his personal bank.

High Court issues details of Seán Quinn Jnr judgment

Wednesday, 24 October 2012


The Supreme Court has issued its detailed judgment outlining the reasons behind its dismissal last week of Seán Quinn Junior's appeal against his three-month sentence for contempt of court.


Seán Quinn Jnr was released from custody last Friday when his three-month sentence ended


In a four to one majority ruling, the court found there was "ample evidence" before the High Court to make the finding beyond a reasonable doubt that he was party to a $500,000 payment from a Quinn company.

The Supreme Court also ruled the High Court was entitled to conclude the contempt was outrageous.

Mr Quinn Jnr was knowingly engaged in the patently unlawful activity of interfering with the secured assets of the Quinn group of companies for the purpose of defeating IBRC's claim, the court found.

The court said the sentence of three months was "amply justified".

However, the court also found that the imposition of an indefinite sentence on foot of coercive orders could not stand due to procedural defects.

The court found the procedures followed by the bank in relation to other allegations of contempt of court were not properly followed.

A person whose imprisonment is to be sought must be given clear, adequate and fair notice or the order he is alleged to have infringed and this was not done, the court found.

In his dissenting judgment, Mr Justice Adrian Hardiman said he would have allowed the entire appeal by Mr Quinn Jnr.

Mr Justice Hardiman found the proceedings in the High Court were "a summary criminal trial" and the case against him was "entirely circumstantial".

He said only two specific findings of fact were made in relation to Mr Quinn Jnr - that he travelled to Kiev in August 2011 and that he attended a meeting with the woman to whom the payment was later made.

He said in the absence of any action by Mr Quinn Jnr, the bank fell back on a more general allegation that he was involved in a conspiracy or involved in an overall strategy.

He said: "It is simply not permissible to bring a citizen before a court with the object of having him locked up on one charge only and then to fall back on the proposition that there is evidence of a more general nature that he was up to no good or involved in an overall strategy..."

The High Court judgment made no attempt to distinguish the evidence against him from the evidence against the others, resulting in "an omnibus finding", the judge said.

This was "wrong, inadmissible and grossly prejudicial to Mr Quinn Junior".

Mr Justice Hardiman also said the "practical approach" taken by the High Court to jail Mr Quinn Jnr to encourage his father to purge his contempt was not a legally recognised basis of a just sentence.

Seán Quinn Jnr was released from custody last Friday when his three-month sentence ended.

He and his father are due back before the High Court next Thursday.

Not surpisingly the powers that be make up their own rules as they go along . Thats the way I interpret Mr Justice Hardmans comments above . When people are used effectively as bargaining chips ( even if they are guilty - probably but not proven- ) its time to have a long  dispassionate look at who is involved , what they implied in their dealings  , how much underhand encouragement was applied , and where does the blame lie squarely . I have no doubt that some of the Quinn family actions were wrong , might be harder to prove now reference Mr Justice Hardmans words above , but I have been saying consistently for ages that there was more skulduggery abroad than could be laid at the Quinns door .

Governments cant pick and choose who they want to pursue and punish , they have to be even handed , even to the extent of exposing any  of their own officials if they have sinned against the common good . Too bad if it proves costly to the State , and I am mindful also of what was largely involved in digging the hole bigger than it might have needed to be and those involved .
