Miller’s Glen opening
The Iveagh Trust opened 28 new homes in Miller’s Glen in May. The Trust first established a presence in Swords in 2005 with the opening of our Applewood Estate. This was the first expansion outside the Trust’s traditional Dublin city-centre heartland.
The opening was notable for the use of the ceremonial sword that belonged to the Trust’s founder Sir Edward Cecil Guinness. What better way to mark the event than a sword in Swords! Our Chairman Rory Guinness, Fingal Mayor Howard Mahony, and Minister Darragh O’Brien were in attendance.
The addition of the latest homes in Miller’s Glen, adds to the 14 built previously. This brings the number of Iveagh Trust homes at Miller’s Glen to 42 in total.
The Trust now has over 150 homes in Swords and more are expected to be delivered in the coming years.
Our team of estate managers and caretakers provide a dedicated estate management service 7-days a week, 365-days-a-year.
Estate Manager, Peter Fenlon, lives in our Applewood estate with his family since 2005, and is a key part of the community here.
