Losses continue to mount at bookseller Kenny’s

Losses continued to mount at one of Ireland’s most celebrated book retail firms in 2011, figures show.

Accounts lodged by Kenny’s Bookshops and Art Galleries (Holdings) Ltd with the Companies’ Office show the family- owned firm recorded a loss of €327,780 in the year to the end of Dec 2011.

However, the losses reduced sharply on the €1.82m loss incurred in 2010. A note with the accounts states “results for 2012 to date and projections for future periods indicate an improved trading position”.
