    He would have no problem getting a UK passport at any time so it would not matter a toss if the Irish govt cancelled his Irish passport.

    Sadly its all too easy to go back and forth across our border.
    I don't think Peter Quinn will be crossing back any time soon back into the republic but I wonder if there is a means that the Irish government can request at least, that any other passport he might have (does he have a British one?) be withdrawn, to keep his presence within our neighbouring borders?

    Since it become obvious that they were being investigated, it seems at times they have been on globe trotting trips to do whatever it is they have been up to, in order to (some have assumed) squirrel money away all over the place in sudden set-up companies, subsidiaries and with people beyond our borders!

    There is no legal basis for any such request and it will not happen, you cannot just make up laws as you go along to fit a certain case and you certainly cant make them up for another country!

    Indeed not.
    However it might be known to happen at times previously, that official (or maybe unofficial?) requests have been made between two close states and the requested involved might have found a technicality in order to placate or satisfy their neighbours and close co-operating friendly nations?

    If memory serves me right, it might not be the first time that the likes of Interpol alone has requested a passport be withdrawn from use. Maybe Ireland should make representations through them?

    Yes all we have to do is bribe a pilot next time he's flying in/out of Belfast to divert to Dublin. 50K - 100k should do it, a shrewd investment.

    Or is there no private "bounty hunters" like you have in the US could chase him down?

    Fine let him have his British Passport, but let him not be using an Irish Passport to continue his theft from the Irish taxpayers.

    It has.
    And I stand over my comments, the Quinns are just parasites,lower than rats in a sewer, people are dying for the want of hospital beds because of the cuts that we are suffering because of their greed.

    No, people are suffering cuts in services because of the reckless mismanagement of successive governments. The end game in this whole Anglo/IBRC/Quinn affair has yet to play out. And, no, it won't be fun.

    Not so under a European Arrest Warrant, all that is required is that it is a criminal matter.

    This bit is certainly interesting from the above link:
    An EAW can only be issued for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution (not merely an investigation), or enforcing a custodial sentence

    Hasn't a judge given the escape artist one?

    EAWs do not apply to contempt proceedings.

    This is your paragraph in full.

    An EAW can only be issued for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution (not merely an investigation), or enforcing a custodial sentence.[1] It can only be issued for offences carrying a maximum penalty of 12 months or more. Where sentence has already been passed an EAW can only be issued if the prison term to be enforced is at least four months long.

    It really is, isn't it!

    He put money into the sport there so the favour is returned by those that possibly benefited?

    More Irish Cronyism?

    Very true.
    The wiki piece also mentions "fraud, including fraud affecting the financial interests of the European Union,"

    I just suspect that if they wished to go after him strong enough, someone somewhere would find the right laws to try getting him back.

    The Quinns may be guilty of some things, however they have never stooped as low as to wish cancer on someone.

    Mods must be asleep this morning.

    Do you have any idea how many people will die and how much suffering will be caused as a direct result of the actions of the Quinn family?!

    The Quinns may be laughing now, but I'm sure they will get whats coming to them, karma gets everyone in the end.

    No, throw me the stats please, I tried finding this online, but only found reference to the amount of people that he employed ( got me wondering how many are indirectly employed )

    While you are at it please tell me the relavence of one individual wishing cancer on a family.

    My post was more to do with the mindset and character of the individual that I replied to.

    I did not defend the actions that the Quinns have carried out ( which I alluded to in my post )

    Some more photos here - including the poster:

    "Bring back Quinn & let him create jobs" :rolleyes:

    I just can't figure out why anybody would want to support these wasters.

    Why do his crony's keep trotting out that tired old line "oh he created a lot of employment, isn't he wonderful!". Hitler employed a lot of people, big whoop. (yes yes thread has been godwinned).

    Obviously we won't know the exact figures as to how many people will die as a result of his actions until a few years time. We will need to compare stats for hospital waiting lists, stats as to how many people died while on waiting lists etc.

    In the meantime, it doesn't take a genius to realise that funding cuts = staff cuts= longer waiting lists = more deaths and suffering.

    So you could not answer my first question ( well you claim you will have the answer in a few years )

    I asked "While you are at it please tell me the relevance of one individual wishing cancer on a family?". Could you please answers this, and not divert the conversation to your own agenda.

    To recap I was not defending Sean Quinn, I was showing my disgust at the individual that wished cancer upon his family.

    Elsewhere Father Brian D’Arcy compared Anglo, rebranded as the IBRC, to the institutions of the Catholic Church.

    “The main reason I’m here tonight is because as Christians and good neighbours we have a right, a duty, to and stand by our families and neighbours when they are in trouble,” the outspoken priest said.

    “And nobody will take that away from us.”

    Jesus.

    I know people were giving out because someone wished the Quinns got cancer. But I wouldn't mind seeing them get something smaller. Like herpes or chronic diarrhea
