A certain genius enabled Seán Quinn to make his name in the Irish borderlands. Quinn Cement, Quinn Glass, Quinn Energy, Quinn Manufacturing, Quinn Thermos, Quinn Packaging, Quinn Rooftiles, Quinn Building Products, Quinn Innovation Academy, the name so ubiquitous that some signs simply said Q. “This tactic is used to frighten, intimidate and terrorise ordinary people.”The priest said a “godfather” was overseeing a mafia-style campaign against QIH executives. Upon his release and return home, a forklift truck held up a giant poster saying “Welcome home Seán Quinn”. Underneath, in red, the sign adds: “Seán Quinn zero £pounds.”The sign has stood in front of a tile shop for several years.
