Quinn blames experts’ growth predictions

SEÁN QUINN has described the appointment of share receivers to his former business empire as “the greatest upset” to him in his entire business career.

He also claimed he had almost completed a business plan which would have discharged his family’s “obligations to the taxpayer”.

Mr Quinn issued his first, and what he said was his only, personal statement since Anglo Irish Bank last Thursday appointed accountants KPMG to take control of the Quinn family shares in the business. The Quinn family owes the bank €2.5 billion.
