Oxfam Ireland enjoyed a €2 million jump in income last year, taking in €17.1 million
in the 12 months to the end of April last.

The figure, which was up from €15.1 million the previous year, includes donations,
investment income, grants received by the charity and revenue generated by Oxfam’s
network of shops.

Total retail sales at the charity’s network of shops reached €6.7million in the 
year to April 2008, up 7 per cent on the previous year.
