Quinn’s blame game

Former billionaire Seán Quinn states that he made a “very conscious decision” and did “the right thing” when he put his assets beyond the reach of the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, which was formerly Anglo-Irish Bank.

He denounced as a “total disgrace” and a “scandal” the order for his wife to repay €3m to the bank because “she just signed whatever she was asked to sign”.

Who asked her to sign? It seems that Mr Quinn wishes to blame everybody but himself. He is blaming the bank, the Government, the media, and, by implication, Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne, the judge who found him in contempt of court in a particularly scathing judgement.
