I no longer own or control the businesses which I have spent my life building up.
From Sean Quinn
In 2009 we increased the cash in Quinn Direct as we had in 2008. We increased the cash in it in 2010. The outstanding claims were €20m in March 2010 but Quinn Direct had more business in the U.K. than in Ireland.
I'm a hard-nosed businessman, that if a company is paying its way, increasing profits for thirty-odd consecutive years, you don't put it into receivership.
The vast majority of debt that Anglo maintains is owed is strenuously disputed. However, I cannot now pay those loans which are due, following Anglo taking control of the Quinn Group of companies, which I and a loyal team spent a lifetime building.
I have made mistakes, but I feel that the people who have done things to me - they should be ashamed.
I believe that Sean Quinn wouldn't be a man at all if he let someone steal his family's assets.
