Dubs’ victory helps Copper Face Jacks net €6.8m profits

Dublin’s senior footballers’ All-Ireland run and win last year helped the firm behind Dublin nightclub Copper Face Jacks to increase pre-tax profits by 5% to €6.8m, new figures show.

In September last year, more than 1.1m television viewers saw All-Ireland senior football Dublin captain Bryan Cullen endorse the nightclub, ending his victory speech at Croke Park with: “See you all in Coppers.”

New figures show there was no need for the endorsement for the profitable and cash-rich Breanagh Catering Ltd that operates the club.
