Lady Gaga gigs help boost pre-tax profits at Dublin’s O2

LADY Gaga’s top grossing three-night run at the O2 in Dublin last year contributed to the co-owners of the venue recording pre-tax profits of £5.7 million (€6.5m) for 2010.

According to accounts just lodged by Britain-based Apollo Leisure Group Ltd to the Companies Office, revenues at the group last year totalled £16.5m.

The group’s only operating companies are Amphitheatre Ireland Ltd that operates the O2 and Live Nation Ireland Holdings Ltd, an investment holding company that receives dividends from Amphitheatre Ireland Ltd.
