Picking up where episode 1 left off — this is the part of the story where the state gets directly involved.
Sean talks through the day the government moved in and took control of the Quinn Group, the agreement he says his own board was forced to sign, and a comment from a government minister that he still hasn't forgotten. From there it goes into the court case, the injunctions, assets tied up abroad, and how it all ended with a bankruptcy order for €3 billion.
Whatever side of this story you land on, hearing it laid out step by step is something else.
