Quinns may seek to question liquidator

The Quinn family may seek to cross-examine IBRC special liquidator Kieran Wallace about the manner in which the commercial court was told of proceedings taken in the US and UK following allegations by unidentified “informants” the family may be hiding up to €500m in undisclosed assets. 

The family, who have described the informants’ claims as “scurrilous lies”, may seek to cross-examine Mr Wallace about the matter after they have studied various documents put before the US and UK courts, their counsel, Charlotte Simpson, said.

There were no grounds for a cross-examination and, should such an application be brought, it would be firmly resisted, Paul Gallagher for IBRC, said.
