Dispute between Sean Quinn’s children and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation to go before High Court

Up to 49 witnesses, including David Drumm, the former CEO of Anglo Irish Bank, IBRC's predecessor in title, will then give evidence during proceedings which could run for six months.

The hearing of the long-running dispute between Sean Quinn’s five children and Irish Bank Resolution Corporation concerning loans of €2.34bn will open before the High Court on Tuesday.

Mr Justice Garrett Simons will first hear an opening statement, expected to last three and a half days, by Bernard Dunleavy SC, on behalf of Aoife, Brenda, Ciara, Colette and Sean Quinn Junior.
