Once Ireland's richest man, Sean Quinn had a long journey to amass his wealth, from leaving school at 15, working on the family farm and spreading his business empire into many sectors.
The Cavan native is the subject of a three-part RTE documentary this week. 'Quinn Country' delves into the story of Quinn as he rose from a teenager working on his family farm to the wealthiest man in the country and then bust.
The businessman was declared bankrupt in 2011 due to billions of Euro worth of debt. Following bankruptcy, he was jailed in November 2012 for contempt of court and served nine weeks in Mountjoy Prison.
