GURU Tony Quinn looked like he had a lot on his mind as he took a stroll near his plush home this weekend. The man followers dub the ‘Messiah’ had plenty to think about as he took a windswept walk on his own in the grounds of Dublin’s Malahide Castle. He had just learned that he will have to explain in court what has happened to millions of oil money belonging to Irish shareholders. Quinn’s role in international oil company INE has been the subject of huge controversy since it first struck black gold in Belize in Central America back in 2005.
Two years later the ‘mind guru’ is believed to have been handed an estimated $20 million worth of shares by his avid follower and company director Susan Morrice who credited his mind control techniques with helping INE strike it rich. Three other original Directors have since sued Quinn and one of the cases, taken by former Director Paul Marriot, is believed to have been settled late last year. He filed explosive documents to a court accusing Quinn and his devoted follower Morrice of scheming to take control of the company. This week the Irish High Court made orders compelling Quinn to give evidence as part of a multi-million dollar lawsuit in the US brought by another former director Jean Cornec.
Lover
It is understood that private investigators filmed Quinn and his busty lover Eve as they strolled together in Malahide Castle near his Hick’s Tower home last week in order to have iron-clad proof for the courts that he was in the country. Quinn has been avoiding coming to Ireland for months but was told he would be safe to return this Christmas. He had successfully fought off a similar order last year because he wasn’t in the country when it was made by the High Court. Countless people who have attended his mind bending seminars in the sun over the past few years have also received letters from the Revenue saying they are examining payments they made to Quinn’s offshore company in Jersey.
At the same time lawyers representing Cornec had told the Irish courts that they wanted to quiz Derek Lawlor, Quinn’s childhood friend from Malahide, and an associate of his in his business in recent years. The company, INE, pumps up to 5,500 barrels of high grade oil every day, making an estimated profit of $100 million a year. It is worth almost one billion dollars; and has 12 million barrels of reserves, enough to keep it going for over five years. It is owned by 350 Irish shareholders none of whom have received a penny in dividends.
Lifestyle
Another shareholder, Maire Lalor, is attempting to take a class action against Quinn and Morrice in the US and her lawyers are likely to serve him a summons this weekend in relation to the proceedings. Meanwhile Quinn is still trying to blag money out of his hard pressed Irish followers. Today he is due in the RDS for his annual meeting with his ‘Educo’ cult devotees at the RDS.
Quinn has amassed a huge fortune by conning followers out of millions of their personal savings to fund his lavish lifestyle.

Nicola – another great story. Thank you for working dilligently on these pieces to uncover the truth.
Mr Quinn looks old and ugly in pictures, no sign of transformational health and well being there.
Well doesnt a picture paint a thousand words!
That guy needs to go on a health seminar, although he’ll find it hard to get in anywhere wearin those white socks! -
Tabloids.. Nonsense as usual.
Quinns appearance doesn’t say much for him being one of the best fed human beings on the planet.
His health concoctions and mind bending techniques have done little to prevent him ageing.
Perhaps he will regain youth when he and his followers reach out with compassion to help others and turn away from their narrow path of self fulfilment and greed of needing ‘more’.
you sad people get a life. Live and let live. The Sunday World only use is to dry up wet floors! Just like the news of the world the Sunday world will be closed down I look forward to that day.
Tony Quinn is my hero. Whaoo he looks great for 65. Come on Tony.
Thank God we have a real hero like Tony in this world.
Good will always win over evil period.
So the sad people who waste their lives spreading slurry nonsense in the form of slander, hatred etc especially against people who dedicate their lives to helping people have better lives (ie Tony Quinn) must be pretty twisted people.
i for one always knew a good thing when i met it. Thus i don’t read slanderous newspapers, or other low vibe nonsense. I not that stupid to believe. God some of you people must be truly lost. Wake up! Live and let live. Go for a walk in the countryside, spread love not hate!
I hope that for you own sake you get a life and stop this nasty evil bitching. Wake up and smell the roses people.
DI received an abusive call from a member of the public at 17:40 who used this expression?
get a life Could this be the comment that preceded it?
Well Mr or Ms Get a life – you really need to get life and it is you who needs to wake up and smell the coffee. What a sad person that is so ‘entranced by Quinn’. They are going to need allot of help when they wake up.
There is no mystery in this mess that Quinn leaves – there is objective, verifiable and independent information on the work of Quinn and his associates and the damaged that this has reeked. The Ms get a life will emerge from the cocoon of bliss when she/ he realises that they are penniless, have no friends except people within the circle of nonsense and completely disillusioned about the lies and manipulation that they believed as the truth at the time.
The bubble will burst but you really will have your life back. Then you will be able to do good.
