Anglo de-Quinning firms, claims family

THE family of businessman Seán Quinn say they are suffering “unjust and discriminatory” targeting as part of a “de-Quinning” of their businesses.

In a statement, the family say they are being “targeted” by Grant Thornton, the accountancy appointed as administrators, and by Anglo Irish Bank.

The statement said that, in recent weeks, four members of the Quinn family have “either been sacked, made redundant or constructively dismissed”.
