Harvey Norman remains ‘committed’ to Ireland

THE Irish unit of Harvey Norman has said it is committed to Ireland for the long-term in spite of recording pre-tax losses of €31.3 million last year.

The losses sustained by the Australian-owned Harvey Norman Holdings (Ireland) Ltd follow the group recording pre-tax losses of €40 million in Ireland in 2009.

The company sells homeware, furniture, computers, consumer electronics and communications products and in their report, the directors state that the company employs 787 people “and is committed to Ireland for the long term”.
