Quinn Jr forgot to produce car insurance cert

Seán Quinn Jr forgot to produce a motor insurance certificate to gardaí at a time when his family’s business was going bust, a court heard.

The son of former billionaire and quarry tycoon Seán Quinn had a brief break from prison yesterday when he was brought to court where Road Traffic Act charges were struck out.

He had been taken from Mountjoy Prison, where he is serving a three-month term imposed by the High Court in July for contempt of court after he and some other members of his family were found guilty of hiding assets from the former Anglo Irish Bank.
