Over in Ireland, activity was now "steadily increasing", with the AIM-listed group's project in Dunshaughlin trading "especially well" over the summer.

"Our recent launch in Kilcarn, Navan was well received. Our project in Moathill, Navan is now underway," added Abbey.

Overall, Abbey said it was on track for "a satisfactory year".
