    No point in trying to open the eyes of the Quinn lovers, truth is if that man commited multiple murder in full public view, some people would still love him and support him. And for what? Creating a few hundred jobs years ago, wow, that gives you some amount of slack with the Irish people. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Maybe we'll all get a slice seeing as we're paying for it!

    Can't wait to see how the Quinn apologists explain this away.

    The cake was from a wedding in 2007. To my knowledge their business did not get taken over until 2009 or so...

    How is this a taxpayer cake then?

    How did the taxpayer pay for it if Quinn group paid for it five years ago?

    Because it was paid for with money from a dodgy business that the quinn gang ran which now owes us, the taxpayer, billions.
    Every non life insurance policy sold in this country for the next 40 years will have a levy on it to pay for the quinn gangs activities, never mind the billions they owe us from their dodgy share dealings in Anglo!

    So... are you saying that every dollar they ever spent was taxpayer money? How far back does this accounting go?

    Don't forget he built that roundabout outside Quinndirect on the way into Cavan Town!

    I was thinking the same to be honest.

    Does that include the money they used to pay all the people employed at the company for the past 30 years, or just the money they spent on their family?

    As much as I don't like the quinn family, this is really just clutching at straws TBH.

    It happened 5 years ago and was charged to his company. Nothing wrong with that at the time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Would have been a better article if they had a picture of this cake

    I want to know what 100,000 will buy you


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭jd007

    Actually, under company law there might be a whole lot wrong with it, either way it's the taxpayer who is now actually picking up the tab for it, amongst the billions of Euros these slime have cost us.
    2007 by the wqay was about the time they started their dodgy share dealings in an attempt to make a quick killing in Anglo!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,833 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    So if the company paid for this 5 years ago, does that mean the taxpayer has paid for all expenses the business incurred ?


    Stop the presses !!!!!!!

    The tax payer has bought 6000 rolls of bogroll for Quinndirect staff !!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,547 ✭✭✭✭Poor Uncle Tom


    I like cake........

    Like I said at the start it waould be interesting to see how the apologists for this crime gang would go about defending their greed, criminality , and excess.

    no, he didnt, he ran HGV goods vehicles all over the republic wearing the roads

    to add insult to injury, he bought said Lorries in N.I. thus avoiding Irish taxes and Motor Tax

    The Queen was grateful for Sean Quinns loyalty to her exchequer

    Is it not you who got rid of "overpaid" minimum wage workers here, to pay chinese workers instead? So is it just the quinn illegality you have a problem with, or the greed?
