Publishing group’s ‘Herculean effort’ sees return to profit

RTÉ Dragon and publisher of Irish Tatler and U magazines Norah Casey said yesterday that it was “a Herculean effort” for her publishing group to return to profit to record pre-tax profits of over €330,000 in 2010.

Accounts just filed with the Companies Office confirm that the pre-tax profits of €331,571 for Harmonia Ltd in the 12 months to the end of Dec 2010 represents a positive swing of €524,711 after the group recorded a pre-tax loss of €193,140 in 2009.

Chief executive of Harmonia Ltd, Ms Casey said that the pre-tax profits for 2011 “will be pretty similar” to 2010.
