Flying with Wings might have been a better idea :pac:

Inevitably this means a Westlife reunion after the Westlife farewell tour and then probably a raft of re-release albums. :rolleyes:

Didn't he screw us over for loads of outstanding loans on properties?

davet82 · 14-06-2012 11:53AM

In the words of Nelson Muntz...

HA-HA!

:P

Mr Filan owns a property company, Shafin Developments Limited, with his brother Finbarr.

It was established in 2004 and had been involved in developments in Counties Leitrim and Sligo in the west of Ireland.

What exactly did he expect?

Phoenix Park · 14-06-2012 11:54AM

I doubt he'll starve...

Newaglish · 14-06-2012 11:56AM

Oh look, another rich person who is magically resident in the UK and declares bankruptcy there instead of in Ireland.

lmao · 14-06-2012 11:56AM

So he moves to the UK the end of last year, is declared bankrupt in less than 12 months living there but will still pick up a cheque for € 4 million for the upcoming Westlife tour. How the f$%k can this even be possible? And as mentioned above who the hell advised him to build 90 houses in Co. Leitrim as an investment?

pappyodaniel · 14-06-2012 11:57AM

Tut tut, he should have stuck to what he was good at and that's ..........

Cosmic.Postman · 14-06-2012 11:57AM

Why the hell do any of you lot care about this man's personal life? Leave him be. Yes he was an awful eejit with all them loans, but seriously, what the papers are doing to him and his family is bad enough. So stop bashing him.

stovelid · 14-06-2012 11:57AM

Forget bankruptcy.

Imagine being christened Finbarr Filan.

SEPT 23 1989 · 14-06-2012 11:59AM

Can he apologise for Westlife as well

Not sure what's so funny. he' the one that's laughing. It's his creditors I feel sorry for. Bankruptcy tourism by another Irish property bubble failure.
He will still be very well off. he's getting away with it.
If you're an Irish taxpayer, you are taking a hit in this case.
Are you still laughing.

He'll be back to making millions in royalties in 12 months. B@stard should be forced to pay off his loans.

Maybe he can use some of his cash from his next gig to do a basic clean up of his ghost estate in Dromahair.

Always amazing me how someone already rich beyond most people's dreams pursues even more money. Unbelievable greed and appalling that afterwards he'll still be a millionaire while the rest of us pick up the tab.

Because the likes of him and his ilk will not pay what they owe even though they will still be very wealthy. He owes Irish banks money, that means he owes the Irish taxpayer money and is pulling a fast one on this.
If you pay taxes then he is taking the piss out of you.
That's why we care.:rolleyes:

jayteecork · 14-06-2012 12:05PM

He's on the "farewell" tour with Westshíte now, then he'll milk the teenage muppets for a few quid with his solo album, then he'll be back with west****e again on the "comeback" tour, all orchestrated by Louis Walsh, aka SATAN.

His wife is a bit of a munter too.

It doesn't actually as the other three have made their money and didn't piss it away. I heard that Shane Filan has a solo contract anyway.

14-06-2012 12:06PM

In a statement, the 32-year-old said he had "worked long and hard" to tackle his debts and was devastated that his problems have come to this conclusion.

Standing around on a stage singing like a ponce isn't working hard. The guy should be made work down a coal mine until he's paid his debts so he knows what working long and hard really means.

What got that idea into his head?

Build an estate in the middle of nowhere in bogland Ireland.

Did he honestly think they'd be flocking in?

Yes. Because there are no consequences for anyone else for the bad debts he leaves unpaid.

JoeyJJ · 14-06-2012 12:11PM

Clown, I bet he will sign his Solo contract on June 12th next year once he is out of this obligations.

Hope he stays over there, wonder will the house in Carraroe have to go or is it gone?

Pulling Derek Zoolander style poses for magazine shoots, he's a total pro at that.

LOL im no fan of Filan , but this statement is utter garbage .

You work your ass off for years and years just to be able to stand on that stage - do you think it just magically happens ?
if so why the fcuk isnt everyone doin it ?

Id like to see you do it. :pac: :pac:

thebourke · 14-06-2012 12:13PM

why is it the richer you are the less chance you will have to pay back any bad debts you owe...where as if you owe a few hundred...thousand euro...the banks will keep harrassing you for the money
one law for the rich..another law for the poor....

Bear in mind, he also occasionally rises slowly and dramatically from a stool.

davet82 · 14-06-2012 12:15PM

I think all Westlife fans should have a whip-round for poor aul shane?
