Pre-tax profits quadruple at Walsh’s entertainment firm

The X-Factor judge Louis Walsh’s entertainment firm more than quadrupled its pre-tax profits last year to €1.268m.

Figures show managing pop duo Jedward and being a judge on ITV’s top-rated entertainment programme is a lucrative business for the Kiltimagh, Co Mayo, man.

Accounts filed by Mr Walsh’s Brill Management Ltd show accumulated profits increased from €259,051 to €1.376m in the 12 months to Nov 30 last year.
