Peter Darragh Quinn Spotted At GAA Matches

Peter Darragh Quinn, the nephew of former billionaire Sean Quinn, is reported to have attended to GAA matches in County Fermanagh despite a warrant being issued for his arrest.

He was sentenced to three months behind bars for contempt of court on 20 July. He failed to appear at the court hearing and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

However, the warrant is only valid in the Republic of Ireland.

His cousin Sean Quinn Junior is currently serving three months in prison for contempt of court.
