Turf's up as Bord na Móna sees profits rise
The company has reported a growth in earnings for the fifth year in a row.
BORD NA MÓNA saw its profits rise by 23 per cent in the past year, new figures show.
Business & Leadership reports that the company recorded profits after tax of €12.9 million in the year to March 2011.
This is an increase in 23 per cent from last year’s figure of €10.5m.
Bord na Móna’s turnover for the year was €382.1m, with earnings before tax rising by 12.6 per cent to €72.7 m.
This is the fifth year that the company has reported a growth in earnings.
However, RTÉ reports that the company has cut €1.8 million off the dividend it pays to the State, going from €5.2 m to 3.4 m.
Meanwhile, the site has launched a new website, www.bordnamona.ie.
