    What a joke. They are leading the courts on a wild goose chase.
    There has to be some kind of paper trail for God's sake.....some way of finding out where the money has gone. Who is doing the investigating - Frank Drebin??

    Time for CAB to get involved

    Should be interesting when Karen Woods has to take the stand next week. She is the weak link and if IBRC have a decent barrister cross examining her then the wee Castleknock girl will get destroyed.

    Judge Kelly isn't buying any of these cock and bull stories. I hope he locks up Aoife Quinn for contempt of court for the brazen lies and mistruths she is spouting.

    Karen is skilled in the art of appropriate dressing. She combines a black jacket with patterned scarf, pearl earrings and flawless make-up for her attendance at the Four Courts.

    she took €370,000 out of the bank using the cash machine. is this even possible? my card allows me 700 max per day

    last week she could not remember taking 1000 euro's out EVERY day for a year, and then going to a solicitors office and handing them the cash.

    So much of her testimony reminded me of what I now like to call the "Bertie Aherne" defence.
    I can't recall, I didn't know, I'm not sure I have no paperwork, I never had a bank account (although in the quinn case the opposite is true.

    Bertie managed to get out of numerous pickles scot free by obfustication and "blurry" memory. In fact we were told as a finance minister he didnt even have a bank account........

    And, you know what, we let him off with it. He got out of it scott free and sits on his handsome pension, speaking all across the world on the back of a fiscal policy that we will pay for decades for.

    That precedent, as I said at the time, basically allows ANY citizen of this country to try use the same type defense and possibly question why they shouldn't get away with it.

    A disgrace.

    LOL.


    The quinns have accounts everywhere but no money in them, whereas Bertie the crook had money everywhere and no accounts.

    Breaking news

    Colette Quinn, a daughter of Mr Quinn, was paid some €340,000 while her brothers in law, Stephen Kelly and Niall McPartland were paid about €260,000 and €281,000 respectively. The money was paid into accounts held by the three with Ocean Bank in Moscow and was withdrawn from ATMS here and via Visa Cards.

    Ms Quinn said she has few documents or receipts indicating what happened to some €327,000 of the €340,000. Some of the money went for household expenses like groceries and petrol and some for legal fees, she was not in the habit of keeping household receipts, and there was €12,500 left in the account last August, she said.

    She withdrew some €16,000 in 20 transactions mainly from ATMs in Belturbet and Cavan town over a period of two hours on June 14th 2012, the court heard.

    The brass cheek of these b#itches is extraordinary! They're costing us a fortune in wasted time and insulting our intelligence with their ridiculous fairy stories. How long will this charade go on? I really hope they suffer hard eventually.

    Simple thing to do here is get the Revenue to audit the solicitor. If they were receiving that much money in cash, then they must have been up to no good too. They would surely have declared all the cash they received and paid tax on it too
