Profits Rise At FBD Hotels And Resorts

New accounts for FBD Hotels and Resorts have revealed that the Irish hotel group's pre-tax profits rose four-fold to €22.78 million last year.

As reported by The Irish Independent, the increase in profits was largely based on FBD booking a €13.58 million non-cash gain of the value of its portfolio.
