Irish gift of the gab rings up profits for Vodafone

IRISH customers of the world’s biggest mobile phone network are second only to the Japanese when it comes to talking.

Our gift of the gab helped Vodafone’s Irish sector increase revenue by 12% last year, maintaining its reputation as one of the best performers of all the network’s global operations.

Unaudited figures suggest profits for the year to March 31 will be in the region of €330 million, up 16% on the previous year. The full figure will not be announced until the end of September.
