The Indo Daily Revisited: Downfall – Sean Quinn, creating Cavan’s Versailles, and the wrath of the Fairies.

Today at 00:05

Sean Quinn’s life is the ultimate rags to riches story – a kid from Cavan done good and then even better.

A millionaire by 30, then a billionaire, with a sprawling empire across cement, hotels, and insurance. Until it all crumbled away when he gambled his fortune and lost in the economic collapse of 2008.

Ireland’s once richest man, even put his home county on the tourism map allowing nothing to get in his way – even a 4,000-year-old megalithic burial tomb, which he excavated and moved. An act that could only bring bad luck, according to some locals.

Presenter Siobhán Maguire hears more from the author of Quinn, Trevor Birney, an Emmy-nominated film, producer and journalist.
