Thomond Park profit almost halved to €122,000 last year

Operating profits at the company which manages Munster Rugby's headquarters Thomond Park almost halved last year to €122,000. Newly-filed accounts for the Thomond Park Stadium Company DAC show revenues also fell, by 11% from €2.577m to €2.28m, in the 12 months to the end of last June.

The operating profit figure is 49% down on the operating profit of €234,000 recorded for the 2016/17 season. Stadium manager John Cantwell said that the drop in revenues was driven by "the absence of a touring team, namely the Maori All Blacks who played here in the prior season."
