Anglo official tracked Quinn via chatrooms

A TOP official from the former Anglo-Irish bank has told of reading chatrooms linked to the GAA to monitor gossip on the activities of former billionaire Sean Quinn.

Richard Woodhouse, a senior figure with the now nationalised lender, said internet blogs suggested the former tycoon was trying to return to business.

The evidence was given as a bid by the bank — now called the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC) and seeking to recover billions from Mr Quinn — to overturn his bankruptcy entered its second day at Belfast High Court.
