Seán Quinn comes from a staunch GAA family in Fermanagh on the border with Cavan where he and his brother Peter played football for Teemore.
Peter Quinn became a financial advisor and in 1990 he was elected President of the GAA, Ireland's largest sporting and cultural organisation, in which role he served between 1991-1994.
Quinn's involvement in the GAA is, in the words of one commentator, 'a constant theme throughout the group' with senior GAA figures like former Cavan Manager David Mackey being both a personal friend and the former general manager of the group.
