Quinns given €2k each to live on until next week

Bankrupt businessman Sean Quinn and family members under interim freezing orders protecting assets in the Quinn property group have been granted €2,000 each in living expenses until next week.

A High Court judge yesterday continued orders restraining the children of Mr Quinn, a nephew, two sons-in-law, and a number of international companies dealing with assets owned or controlled by them worldwide below €50m each.

The Quinns will be allowed €2,000 living expenses each until the injunction orders return to court on June 27, plus legal and perhaps some domestic expenses subject to formal approval by the court.
