Vamp tale doubles Jordan’s profits

A blockbuster movie following the many lives of a mother and daughter vampire duo last year contributed to profits more than doubling at director Neil Jordan’s firm to €1.8m.

Jordan’s Byzantium — made last year and released in May of this year — stars Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton.

New figures lodged with the Companies Office show that accumulated profits at Jordan’s Sunwind Enterprises Ltd increased by 106% from €909,515 to €1.879m in the 12 months to the end of Dec 31 last.
