How is it possible for him to shut down a Quinn profitable UK business totally when only 1 small aspect of the business is unprofitable. Would it not be due process of appoint the administrators to the company,let them inspect the books and decide on how the company is to proceed. It is just me that doesn’t understand how the Regulator can appoint administrator of the caliabre of Grant Thorton and then dictate to them how that business should be operated. Are the administrators running the company or not? surely they are better positioned and qualified given that they are present in the company, they are not on a work to rule like the FR office and they would not be too embarrassed, unlike the FR to admit shutting down the UK market was wrong but he is determined to stand by his incorrect decision to save his own skin, whilst allowing 1000 previously secured employees head to the dole ques.

If this man is seen as the saviour of the Irish Financial system, and if his means of saving us is by shutting down profitable business and adding to the dole que, then GOD HELP US ALL!!!
