  • Excellent Podcast!

    Great to hear The Mighty Quinn allowed tell his story in full! Fair dues to Sammy Heaney for this production! Naming and shaming all the criminals in government and still in charge of companies getting outed! What happened to Sean Quinn, his family and the entire Quinn Group is the biggest scandal ever in this banana republic!

  • The Quinn Files.

    I listened to all the podcasts and I am amazed how well Sean Quinn spoke on his business starting out and then been stolen from him and his family,

    It was amazing how Sean finished schooling at 15 years and went on to build one of the greatest firms in this country.

    Q. If Sean was to start all over again what would he change or do differently?
