Glenveagh, which chiefly builds homes in and around Dublin, reported an operating loss for 2020 of 12.7 million euros compared to a profit of 29.4 million euros a year earlier after building sites were shut due to COVID-19 restrictions during one of its usually most productive times of the year. However, it said there has been a limited impact on housing demand as the pandemic has disproportionately hit younger, low income workers and led to a record spike in savings among those still working.
