Seán Quinn Jnr visits father in prison

Members of the Quinn family are visiting Seán Quinn Snr in Dublin's Mountjoy Prison, where he has spent the first night of a nine-week sentence.

Seán Quinn Jnr, along with his wife Karen, used the Training Unit entrance at the rear of the prison this afternoon.

Former billionaire Seán Quinn Snr was sentenced yesterday for contempt of court.

The High Court judge Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne said she could not ignore the extent and degree of contempt by Mr Quinn and that his behaviour in sanctioning an asset-stripping scheme fell into the category of serious misconduct.

Mr Quinn will be due for release on the 4 January.

Seán Quinn tired and emotional

Seán Quinn Snr is "tired", "emotional" and "angry" following his jailing yesterday for contempt of court, according to his Parish Priest.

Father Gerry Comiskey, of Drumlane Parish in Cavan, visited Mr Quinn in prison last night.

He said the journey from Dublin's Four Courts to Mountjoy had been "very diminishing" for the former businessman and that the "whole experience" had left him "physically exhausted".

Father Comiskey added that he had "no doubt" Mr Quinn would drew on his "inner strength" to help him through the next nine weeks.

He said the "first few days" would be the most difficult and that he planned to visit again in the near future.

He said the Quinn family had, in recent times, suffered "trauma of unprecedented proportions".

As Mr Quinn's Parish Priest, Father Comiskey said he had a pastoral responsibility but added that he also had a "huge personal regard" for Sean Snr and for the contribution he and his family had made to the area over the years.

There is "widespread disbelief" in the Cavan and Fermanagh area over the jailing and also "intense" according to the priest.

He said local people were "trying to come to terms" with what had happened.
