Quinn admits that life in Mountjoy was ‘tough’
The one-time billionaire walked free from the training unit in Mountjoy shortly after 9am yesterday to return to his family home in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, after serving a nine-week sentence for contempt of court.
In November, the 66-year-old was jailed for not purging his contempt in the High Court for his role in an asset-stripping plot. Quinn is currently embroiled in a bitter legal wrangle with the former Anglo Irish Bank — now the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC). The bank is pursuing the family for debts wracked up through a €2.8bn failed share deal.
