Check out the last drone footage of the Treasury project. We are delighted with the significant progress made on this project. We want to thank our dedicated team for their commitment and hard work and look forward to making significant strides towards completing this landmark project over the coming months.
We especially thank our clients Ronan Group Real Estate and Google for their ongoing collaboration and dedication throughout the development.
As a proud Gold Sponsor of this year’s CIF Ireland Construction Safety Campaign, we’ve spent the month advancing safety across our sites through events, guest speakers, training, initiatives, and competitions.
Thanks to everyone who got involved and our EHS team for organising the calendar of events. The feedback, positive uptake, and engagement from our staff, supply chain and clients has been impressive!
This week, we’ve continued to spotlight critical risk awareness with one of our focused topics being hand safety – an essential part of our daily routines.
Our Project Manager, Gary, shared a powerful story with the team. Back in 2011, while working on a fishing trawler, he suffered a serious hand injury. His story isn’t just about physical recovery but sheds light on the mental and financial toll an injury can take on you and your loved ones.
Our hands are constantly in use, from gripping a tool to typing on a keyboard or using a phone. Let’s make sure we’re always protecting them by:
✅ Using the right equipment
✅ Following proper safety procedures
✅ Keeping hands out of the “line of fire”
At PJ Hegarty, health and safety goes beyond our construction sites. This October, we proudly participated in the Irish Heart Foundation Hands for Life programme.
Did you know 13 people die from cardiac arrest every day? CPR can double the chances of survival, and through this vital programme, free CPR training is being offered to 100,000 people across Ireland. Whether at work or home, knowing these life-saving skills could make all the difference. Training courses will take place in local community centres, clubs, and libraries across Ireland over the next two years. The training course takes just under one hour to complete, and attendees will learn:

Thank you to our site management teams, staff and supply chain partners for their unwavering commitment to safety.
Friday was full of excitement as our team worked together to pull a 16-tonne vintage fire truck across the finish line at the RMHC Ireland Vintage Fire Truck Challenge!
PJ Hegarty was the proud sponsor of the event, and we truly embraced the motto – Together We Can Pull Through Anything!
Donations are still open to support this worthy cause: https://www.rmhc.ie/fundraising-events/vintage-fire-truck-pull-for-rmhc-ireland
Yesterday, as part of the CIF Safety Campaign 2024, we were honoured to host Marian Deasy as she shared the heartbreaking story of her son Lorcan, who tragically lost his life falling from a height in his workplace in 2018. Marian’s story is a stark reminder of the importance of workplace safety, especially when working at heights. Marian’s words resonated with us all: “That attitude of ‘ah sure it’ll be alright’ cannot be accepted.”
Working at height poses one of the most significant risks on any construction site and by correctly mitigating for work at height risks, we can ensure everyone gets home safe, every day.
We are delighted to once again be a Gold Sponsor for the CIF Construction Safety Campaign. This year’s campaign theme focuses on critical risks and how we take proactive steps to reduce and eliminate these risks. We have various initiatives, talks, and demonstrations planned for the two week campaign.
We encourage everyone to take part in this years campaign and look forward to seeing what our staff take from our planned activities and events.
We are thrilled to announce that PJ Hegarty has been shortlisted for two categories at the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2024.
A big thank you to our dedicated team and partners who have made this possible. We’re looking forward to the awards night and celebrating with the best in the industry!
We are delighted to have been nominated for Sustainable Procurement Team of the Year—SME at this year’s National Procurement Awards.
This award recognises the procurement team that has demonstrated a committed approach to delivering sustainable procurement over the past 12 months. We eagerly await the awards night on October 24th!
