Tesco Ireland sales up 0.4%

Tesco Ireland has recorded its first full-quarter positive sales growth since 2010, despite the continued uncertainty in the economy.

The British retail giant has been implementing a six-point recovery plan since it announced a profit warning in January after poorer than expected Christmas sales.

The success of the plan remains in question as the world’s third-largest retailers recorded underlying sales down 1.5% in its British operations.
