Quinn Jr claims he was forced to take redundancy

The son of former billionaire Seán Quinn has taken a case for unfair dismissal against Quinn Insurance after claiming he was forced to accept redundancy from his €75,000 job as a senior executive in the group.

The Employment Appeals Tribunal in Dublin heard yesterday that Seán Quinn Jr also claims he was victimised and harassed as a member of the Quinn family after the company founded by his father was placed into administration in Mar 2010.

The tribunal heard evidence that Mr Quinn believed he was singled out by the company’s administrators for redundancy because they wanted to clear his family out of the business.
