Vodafone posts fall in Irish revenues to under €1bn

Revenues at Vodafone’s Irish operations fell below €1bn in the group’s latest financial year, while its Irish mobile customer numbers dipped below the 2m mark.

Vodafone Ireland generated revenues of €996m for the 12 months to the end of March, down from €1.02bn a year earlier. It closed the year with 1.95m customers, down from 2.24m five years ago.

However, the communications giant’s Irish division saw adjusted operating profit rise from €25m to €55m, while its contract phone customers grew by almost 49,000 — an increase of almost 5%.
