Quinns: We are being crucified and at our wits’ end dealing with bank

The family of bankrupt businessman Seán Quinn are at their “wits’ end” dealing with the former Anglo Irish Bank, the Commercial Court heard.

The Quinns feel “crucified” and want a mediation of the legal dispute over the location of multimillion international property assets, it was alleged.

Mr Quinn’s son-in-law, Niall McPartland, claimed IBRC’s cross-examination application served a dual purpose in letting it “have a go” at the family in the witness box before the hearing of the main action. He told Mr Justice Peter Kelly mediation was a cheaper and faster way of addressing the issues.
