Quinn appeal to be heard Tuesday

Sean Quinn Junior's appeal against his imprisonment for contempt of court is to get underway next Tuesday.

H I's serving a three month sentence in Mountjoy after the High Court found he breached orders aimed at unwinding a multimillion euro asset stripping scheme.

Sean Quinn Junior was jailed in July by Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne who described the contempt of court as 'outrageous'.

A warrant is out for the arrest of his brother in law Peter Darragh Quinn who should also be in jail but remains free after he failed to show up in court.

Bankrupt businessman Sean Quinn Senior was the third family member found to have breached court orders restraining a scheme to put international property assets beyond the reach of the former Anglo Irish Bank which claims the family owes it €2.8bn.

However he remains free so as to assist the IBRC.

Sean Quinn Jnr's lawyers today secured an order allowing him to be produced at the Supreme Court next Tuesday and Wednesday for an appeal hearing against the finding of contempt and his jail sentence.
