IFG ‘confident’ of beating earnings target

IFG Group Plc, Ireland’s smallest publicly-traded financial-services company, will beat its target of doubling earnings per share by 2007 as the business benefits from a reorganisation, chief Executive Officer Richard Hayes said.

“I’m confident we’ll beat it,” he said, declining to be more specific.

“As the business starts firing on all cylinders it makes a very big difference.”
