    Sean Quinn leaves jail at 6am to spend Christmas with family



    In letters to prison authorities and the State, Quinn's family said that in almost 40 years, Sean and Patricia Quinn had never spent a Christmas apart.




    Ah the poor man, if they are broke how are they gonna enjoy xmas.



    The Patriarch of the BANKRUPT QUINN family drove away from the training unit at the rear of the prison complex in his sons Audi A5 coupe – worth around €50,000.



    Thats ok then, how many other skint people will get this treatment this christmas. If you owe money to your bank and they are hassling you to breaking point then take a leaf out of Seanies book.

    A lot. Especially if they're in for 'minor' crimes like contempt of court.

    About 6% of the total prison population I believe I heard, which is a nice bit overall.

    I don't think Quinn was found to have committed any crime though. Contempt of court isn't a criminal matter afaik.

    Other prisoners are released under the Criminal Justice Act 1960; which wouldn't actually apply to Quinn, so it's odd that he was granted temporary release. I don't think it's ever happened before for someone being held for contempt.

    Sorry maybe a bit harsh, just they have affected so many Irish people and i think its a joke hes allowed out for Christmas, he was given a sentence he should be made serve it!

    Temporary release is usually for good behaviour, which someone being held in contempt can hardly show.

    Firstly, because he and his clan have drawn the spotlight on themselves to get public support and apply pressure to the legal proceedings against them. Second, contemnors have never got out for Christmas.

    It is to make space for the people who have to go in over the xmas period.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭Dude111


    Its nice that they let him out for christmas...

    The problem is you cant trust most people IN PRISON,they would take off or do something bad while out and they really cant take that chance!

    Absolutely have zero time for the Quinn's but the Indo article on it was a joke. What is relevant about the car he was collected in being worth €50k? Rag of a paper

    The indo was always a rag.
    You notice how the indo never mentions the price of Seanie fitz's car?
    Or never has a word to say these days about David Drumm?

    The indo is a one sided piece of total BS

    Am I to guess that you are one of these people who rants and raves that the bankers and property developers should all be in prison despite most of them not having actually commited any crimes? This may shock you to know, but lending irresponsible money to an all too willing public is, wait for it, not actually illegal, and never has been. Quinn hardly bought himself out if this one, most people serving time for an offence of the level he has been convicted of would be allowed release.
