Three Dublin pubs part-owned by former Ireland rugby stars , Jamie Heaslip, Sean O’Brien, Dave Kearney and Rob Kearney this year enjoyed combined post tax profits of €592,369 despite the Dublin riots ‘wiping off two weeks of trade”.
Consolidated accounts for the pub group, Pinewood Bars and subsidiaries show revenues increased by 23pc from €7.64m to €9.39m in the 12 months to the end of February this year. Mr Anderson said “all in all, not too bad” when asked to comment on the pubs’ financial performance in the 12 months to the end of February this year. He said: “Obviously, the Dublin riots didn't help. The riots wiped off two weeks of trade at a very busy time of the year.”
A breakdown in the Pinewood Bar revenues show that the group recorded drink sales of €5.74m, food sales of €3.59m and tea and coffee sales of €44,031. On last year’s financial performance, Mr Anderson said “Bridge - solid. Blackrock - getting to where it needs to be.” He said: “I am not long off the phone with Rob and we are very excited by McSorley's in Ranelagh. We have ambitious plans for it next year - watch this space. Food will be a big part of what we do there."
