CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS TO SHAREHOLDERS AT AGM
Â
ABBEY CURRENT TRADING
Â
Â
Â
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 77th Annual General Meeting of Abbey plc. Before commencing the formalities this morning, I wish to make a brief statement about current trading.
Â
Â
Trading in the early months of the year has been good. Activity across our business is ahead of last year.
Â
Â
In southern England 'help to buy' continues to underpin house sales.
Â
Â
In Ireland our new development in Lucan, Co. Dublin is underway. We continue to look actively for new projects and have recently acquired sites in Foxrock and Cornelscourt, Co. Dublin.
Â
Â
The Group is on track for a good year.
Â
Â
