Twitter posts profit at Irish operation

The Irish arm of Twitter bucked the trend for the international social media giant’s operations by posting a profit.

Twitter, meanwhile, is preparing to move into its new state-of-the-art head office in Dublin on Monday.

The micro-blogging firm, which employs 200 people here and is led by former RTÉ Primetime presenter Mark Little, will make the move after the building’s owners, Hibernia REIT, carried out a €29m refurbishment of the building.
