Rugby star Rob Kearney sees €50k jump in profits while Niall Quinn enjoys profit from Sky Sports deal

Newly filed accounts for the company owned by Irish rugby international Rob Kearney show a €50,000 jump in accumulated profits last year to €275,747.

The accounts for Mr Kearney’s Willville Promotions Ltd show a reduction in the company’s cash pile from €154,790 to €62,581.

Mr Kearney is arguably Ireland’s most marketable player following the retirement of Brian O’Driscoll last year and is best placed to become Irish rugby’s most in-demand personality.
