Students attend the AgSoc leaders in agriculture discussion in the Moore Auditorium at UCD.
UCD s agricultural science society (AgSoc) has launched its grand raffle, continuing its long tradition of raising funds for charity.
This year’s raffle has been supported by a range of generous companies and organisations across the country, with a top prize of €1,000 cash, sponsored by the Irish Angus Cattle Society.
A number of other excellent prizes are on offer, with a night away in the Slieve Russell Hotel in Co Cavan; one tonne of ration from Nutrias; a calf meal feeder from Condon Engineering; and grass seed from Liffey Mills making up just some of the items up for grabs.
Assets sold by the liquidators will help recoup cash for IBRC creditors, including the State.
The properties involved are understood to be worth hundreds of millions of euro. They were at the heart of a bitter, near decade-long, dispute between the liquidators and the five adult children of one-time business tycoon Sean Quinn.
Quinn International Property Management Ltd does not own the properties it says will be sold but is involved in managing them. The accounts filed in the UK show it was paid £2.2m (€2.44m) in fees in 2019 alone by companies including those operating the Slieve Russell Hotel, close to the Quinn family home in Co Cavan, Quinn Hotels Praha – which runs the huge Hilton Hotel Prague in the Czech capital – as well as companies linked to a Holiday Inn Hotel in Nottingham, England and the Quinns’ former pubs business. The accounts don’t even list what properties are to be sold, however.
