Profits at O’Connell’s firm top €1m

Paul O’Connell, who captained Ireland to Six Nations glory last weekend, has even more reason to celebrate with new accounts showing his firm’s accumulated profits have topped €1m for the first time.

Accounts filed to the Companies Office by Nellcon Ltd, for the 12 months to April 30, 2013, show its accumulated profits rose from €975,311 to €1.09m. The cash pile at the firm increased by €38,901 to €1.051m.

O’Connell, 34, has been a talisman for Munster and Ireland over the past decade.
