Innovative initiative nets €26,488 for Charity

During the course of the fast track project, electrical cable offcuts not used in construction, accumulated. The team on site quickly recognised the potential to use it to benefit a good cause.

Partnership

Partnering with various site contractors, Kirby Electrical collected the electrical offcuts with assistance from ADCO, who also organised the cutting. P&S Machinery removed the cable from site, segregated it and secured the best sale price.

The team on site choose the following charities, who were delighted to receive cheques for €6,622 each:-

• Focus Ireland
• St Vincent de Paul  
• CMRF Crumlin
• Irish Cancer Society
