Quinns in bid to have receiver discharged

Members of the family of bankrupt businessman Seán Quinn are to seek to have the receiver appointed over their assets and his lawyers discharged.

The Quinns say they have concerns over a possible conflict of interest and the impartiality of the receiver, insolvency practitioner Declan Taite.

The Quinns were before the Commercial Court yesterday, arising out of an application by the receiver compelling them to give him information concerning their assets and tax affairs.
