€1.5m deal with IRFU in bag as profits at Heaslip’s firm top €60,000 last year

Accumulated profits at the firm owned by Leinster and Irish rugby star Jamie Heaslip last year topped €60,000.

Last week, the IRFU broke its pay structure to keep the Leinster No 8 in Ireland after he signed a new deal believed to worth more than €1.5m over three years.

Now, new figures show that the cash pile at Heaslip’s firm, Sabra Management Ltd increased almost 20-fold to €39,090 in the 12 months to the end of Jun 30, 2013.
