    Fermanagh businessman Sean Quinn - once believed to have been Ireland's richest man - has been declared bankrupt.

    He was granted a voluntary adjudication at Belfast High Court on Friday over an alleged 2.8bn euros (£2.4bn) debt owed to Anglo Irish Bank.

    My old boss, what a shame what happened, everyone makes mistakes for what ever reason.

    But he treated his staff very well. the bonus bill each month was higher than the wages. If you worked hard you got very well rewarded! tbh if it wasnt for my ex husband i would be well off thanks to Sean Quinn and the 6 years I worked for him

  • Saab are officially bankrupt :p
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    Dont smile, they invented the car turbo now what will we do ! :eek:


    On the other hand this is a good demo that bankruptcy isnt exactly the end for a company, more a forced and extreme restructing. Will be nice not to see crappy bailouts done by politicians for once (and paid for with taxes)
