€4m profit for Quinn wedding hotel

The former Seán Quinn hotel that was the setting for his daughter Ciara’s lavish wedding recorded pre-tax profits of €3.9m last year.

The Slieve Russell Hotel in Co Cavan hosted the 2007 Quinn wedding that included a 6ft tiered wedding cake for 400 guests which was baked in New York, packed into 20 boxes, and flown to Ireland.

However, following the collapse of the Quinn empire, the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, formerly Anglo Irish Bank, assumed control of the hotel when a share receiver was appointed to the hotel firm in Apr 2011.
