BT Ireland reports rise in profits

BT today reported a rise of 18% in full year profits for its all-Ireland operations despite the difficult economic climate.

While BT as a whole announced losses of £134m (€149m) and plans to cut 15,000 jobs during the year, what operates as “a mini BT on the island of Ireland” turned in “a very strong set of numbers”, according to BT Ireland chief executive Chris Clark.
