Publishing group profits slip further

Pre-tax profits at the publishing group owned by former Newstalk Breakfast presenter and former RTÉ Dragon Norah Casey slipped further last year to €57,502.

The drop in profits came in spite of revenues and circulation increasing across Ms Casey’s stable of magazines.

Figures show that Ms Casey’s Harmonia Ltd, which publishes Irish Tatler, Women’s Way, U magazine, and Food & Wine, sustained a 26% drop in pre-tax profits, from €78,121 to €57,502, in the 12 months to the end of Dec 2012.
