Series one of Uncovered examines one of the most extraordinary and controversial stories in modern Irish public life: the rise and fall of Seán Quinn and the collapse of the Quinn Group

Across a series of long-form conversations, Seán Quinn reflects on his journey from rural Fermanagh to the helm of a global business empire that, at its height, employed thousands of people and made him one of Ireland’s most successful businessmen. He speaks candidly about the decisions that built the Quinn Group, the culture of risk that emerged in the years before the financial crash, and the moment when everything unravelled.
