Cillian Murphy plays a blinder with €1m cash pile

The cash pile at the entertainment firm co-owned by movie star Cillian Murphy topped €1m at the end of last year.

The 40-year-old Cork native has earned rave reviews for his portrayal of feared family crime boss, Thomas Shelby in the hit BBC show, Peaky Blinders. The BBC has commissioned a further two series.

The new figures show that profits at Mr Murphy’s Fionntrá Siamsa Teoranta last year jumped by €685,253 to €1.05m.
