Louis Fitzgerald hospitality group returns to profit

The group’s businesses include well-known Dublin City centre pubs, Stag’s Head, Kehoes, Bruxelles, The Gin Palace, Grand Central and Quays Temple Bar.

It was reported in the Irish Examiner this month that the company is to acquire Cork's Imperial Hotel.

The main firm behind the Louis Fitzgerald hospitality group last year returned to profit to record pre-tax profits of €16.94m.

The pub, restaurant and hotel group owns the likes of Kehoe's and the Stag's Head in Dublin and new accounts filed by the group’s holding company, Burtse Ltd show that the business returned to pre-tax profit after revenues increased more than threefold from €16.05m to €55.75m in the 12 months to the end of June last.
