The Abbey Group's house-building division, Kingcroft Developments, has just sold its 1,000th new home in Ireland since beginning building operations here five years ago. Selling agent Ross McParland was on hand to mark the sale of the house at Leixlip Manor, in Co Kildare, to Mark and Sarah Logan. The couple were presented with a cheque for £1,000 and champagne. Kingcroft is shortly to embark on new developments in Lucan, Swords and Navan.
