Pre-tax profits at the firm that operates Emerald Park last year slumped by 26% to €4.43m as the Co Meath visitor attraction counted the cost of a wet Irish summer in 2023.

New accounts filed by the Coyle family-owned Ashbourne Visitor Centre Ltd show the business sustained the drop in profits as revenues declined by 5%, from €27.43m to €25.99m.
