Quinns: Regulator should explain insurance move

Seán Quinn’s family have demanded the financial regulator be brought to task for his handling of Quinn Insurance — and defended the exorbitant price tag on the now infamous family wedding cake.

Ahead of yet another rally in support of him this weekend in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, Seán Quinn Snr’s daughter Colette Quinn and his sister Bernie Maguire last night gave an interview on the fallout from the Quinn family’s financial difficulties.

It was put to Colette Quinn that, due to the mismanagement of Quinn Insurance, a 2% levy for up to 25 years was going to have to be paid by taxpayers in the country.
