Good rise today; I thought the results were pretty bad, the only bright spot being the "medium term outlook". Not sure how they can predict that when nobody else can; short-term order intake looked poor (though helped a little on currency conversion).

SMART OWNER SEEKS BUYER OR PARTNER - The Irish Times says Cavan-based businessman Brendan Murtagh has engaged advisers to find a buyer or strategic partner for Smart Telecom, the Dublin-based telecoms firm he controls.

The paper says Mr Murtagh has engaged British corporate financier Collins Stewart, which opened an office here last year, to assess its strategic options.

The Irish Times says the businessman is prepared to sell all or part of the business and will also consider possible merger or joint venture opportunities for some or all of the business in an attempt to generate some value from the company.

The paper says a number of leading telecoms and media groups have been contacted in relation to the process, including Magnet Networks, Digiweb, UPC Ireland, Sky and some of the mobile phone operators.
