Tributes continue to pour in for Attorney General
Wed, 05 Jan 2022
The Chief Minister has paid tribute to John Quinn QC, the Island’s Attorney General.
Alfred Cannan said: “The outpouring of tributes to John from across our Island community is testament to the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him.
“John undertook his role as Attorney General with dignity, skill and professionalism. He provided sage advice to the Council of Ministers and to Tynwald, which he always delivered with grace and integrity.
“John played a major role in helping government to successfully manage the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet despite the pressures of his role – particularly over the past two years – John remained approachable and good humoured even in the most difficult of times.
“The Island has lost a wise counsel and a friend. He will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with his family.”
In a statement, the Manx Law Society said: "The Isle of Man Law Society was deeply saddened to learn over the weekend of the untimely death of John Quinn. As Attorney General, John was the leader of the Bar and prior to taking up the role of AG he was in private practice for 30 years. He was greatly respected by all those who knew him and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time”
Yesterday, a minutes silence was held in Tynwald to remember Mr Quinn.
