Seán Quinn Jr to get out of jail for appeal bid

Seán Quinn Jr is to be allowed out of jail to attend his Supreme Court appeal next Tuesday and Wednesday against imprisonment for contempt of court orders.

Barrister Brian O’Moore, SC, counsel for Mr Quinn Jr, told the three-judge Supreme Court yesterday that the IBRC, formerly Anglo Irish Bank, had no objection to Mr Quinn Jr’s attendance at the hearing.

Mr O’Moore said he was making an application for the production by the Mountjoy Prison authorities of Mr Quinn Jr at the appeal against the contempt of court finding and imprisonment by Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne on Jul 20.
