Abbey ‘on the search for new projects’

Abbey, the housebuilding group based in Co Meath, has stated that trading in the early months of its current financial year has been good, with activity across each of its regions ahead on an annualised basis.

Addressing shareholders yesterday at the company’s AGM in Malahide, Co Dublin, group executive chairman Charles Gallagher said that the British government’s ‘Help to Buy’ scheme for buyers continues to underpin sales in the south of England; while in Ireland, the firm’s new development in Lucan, Co Dublin, is under way.

“We continue to look actively for new projects and have recently acquired sites in Foxrock and Cornelscourt, in Co Dublin,” Mr Gallagher added.
