Thousands show their support in Quinn heartland

Thousands of supporters of the Quinn family, including Tyrone manager Mickey Harte, former Meath manager Seán Boylan and Father Brian D’Arcy, attended a rally in Co Cavan yesterday.

The crowds in Ballyconnell, the site of a Quinn packaging plant, urged the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation to seek the suspension of the contempt orders issued against them this week. Anti-Anglo Irish Bank placards and others denouncing the “English Regulator” were on display.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that Sean Quinn’s nephew, Peter Darragh Quinn, who has a warrant out for his arrest in the Republic, attended another GAA match yesterday.
