Quinns would fix finances and free Seán Jr ‘if we could’

A daughter of Seán Quinn has said if her family could rectify its finances and free her brother from prison, they would do it immediately.

However, Aoife Quinn said the family could not produce the information required by the High Court and it was not leaving Seán Quinn Jr in jail for the “sake of sitting on our hands”.

“If we could purge our contempt, we would,” she said, adding the family was “trying our hardest to comply with the [court ]orders handed down” and it was proving to be an “exceptionally difficult” situation.
