Irish Mormon Church records surplus after €530k donations, figures reveal

The Irish Mormon Church swung out of the red last year after its members and parent church stumped up an additional €530,000 to support it.

New figures show that the Irish Association of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints last year recorded a surplus of €140,307 following a loss of €570,356 in 2011 — a positive swing of €710,663.

The church relies on members to keep it afloat financially and Mormon Church rules lay down that members should donate 10% of their income to the church through a tithe.
