Former Republic of Ireland soccer star Niall Quinn is leading the pack in a charity
trading game. The trading game, Delta Index Fantasy Financial Spread Betting Challenge,
will donate ‚€1000 to a charity of choice to celebrities taking part in the virtual
game. 
Quinn is believed to have benefited from his position in the high flying 
Ryanair shares. Other celebrities taking part include author Sinead Moriarty, TD
Marian Harkin and company director Mark Fitzgerald.

The game is run in association with the Sunday Business Post.
