Mrs Brown’s trip Down Under adds to €4m profit to Brendan O' Carroll's firms

The global success of Brendan O’Carroll’s foul- mouthed mammy, Agnes Browne, last year resulted in three O’Carroll firms recording combined profits of just under €4m.

Recently, the Dubliner reminded an awards audience here that he is not a millionaire but a multi-millionaire and it is easy to see why from these new figures.

O’Carroll’s Mrs Brown’s Boys has long been a ratings winner in Ireland and the UK, but the new accounts show that the show’s Australian fans were the main driver behind the franchise’s profits last year.
