Haughey’s 250-acre palatial pad to be sold to highest bidder

But if you still have enough cash after a generation of questionable financial and political practices, the seeds of which some say were sown in the Haughey era, then it could be just the place for you.

Estate agent Savills has confirmed that Abbeville, formerly the grandiose 250-acre palatial pad of Charlie Haughey, will shortly go on sale to the highest bidder.
