LONDON (ShareCast) - A non-executive director at FBD Holdings has bought 3,000 shares in the Irish insurance company.
Brian Horan acquired the new shares at an individual price of €11.48, spending €34,455 in the transaction.

The purchase shows Horan's confidence in the group, which saw its pre-tax profits of €51.45m in 2013 turning into losses of €4.53m in 2014.

Chief executive Andrew Langford said at the time: "2014 was a very difficult year for the Irish insurance industry and for FBD. The claims environment has deteriorated significantly and at a speed which exceeded expectations.

"Our focus for 2015 is on ensuring that we continue to support our customers when they need us, while ensuring that our business model remains robust and delivers a return for shareholders."
