Quinn: claims based on forged memo

THE billionaire managing director of the Quinn Group has vehemently denied allegations that his insurance company employed serving gardaí to investigate claims or had bribed claimants’ solicitors.

Garda Commissioner Noel Conroy has ordered an inquiry into the allegations.

In response to an article which appeared in the Sunday Tribune, Seán Quinn, the country’s wealthiest businessman, has placed an open letter in selected newspapers in which he says the Sunday Tribune’s article and corresponding editorial were based on a forged memo.
