O’Driscoll and Sexton firms score results

Accumulated profits at Brian O’Driscoll’s main firm last year soared by more than €100,000 to €3.6m as the rugby icon’s massive earning power continued to pay rich dividends.

Separate figures also show former team-mate Johnny Sexton’s firm also posted record profits in 2014.

New figures show that O’Driscoll’s final year as a professional rugby player, during which he made a long good bye to Irish and Leinster fans, was a lucrative one, with accumulated profits at his firm rising by €102,006 to €3.628m.
