€400k sale of Quinn Jr’s home will finally purge contempt proceedings

The sale of Sean Quinn Jr’s Dublin home in the next four weeks for over €400,000 will finally purge a contempt of court order against him, a judge said yesterday.

Once the transaction over the house at Alder Lodge, Farmleigh Woods, Castleknock, is completed, that will be the end of High Court contempt proceedings against Mr Quinn, Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne said.

Martin Hayden, for Mr Quinn, told the judge yesterday that two valuations from auctioneers, of €400,000 and €450,000 respectively, have been received for the house which Mr Quinn owns with his wife Karen Woods.
