Biodiversity at Grass Roots!

Éirú, Blarney Streets School Garden is bursting into life once more as spring arrives. Children have been out digging, weeding, planting, pruning, noticing, naming, and more.

Each day brings something new to the garden! Well done to all the helpers from 4th and 5th classes who’ve put in extra work preparing the beds, keeping the school grounds litter-free, and getting the wormery up and running once more.

Cygnum was delighted to support the biodiversity garden by sponsoring the planters and encouraging some budding green fingers along the way!

Extension Progress

Great to share progress on the first stage of our two-phase extension project, with phase 2 starting in May — a major investment that will significantly increase our output capacity. This expansion reflects our commitment to meeting rising demand and our continued commitment to innovation and excellence.

Welcoming representatives from Government departments, County Councils, and City Councils

We recently welcomed representatives from Government departments, County Councils, and City Councils for a firsthand look at Cygnum’s state-of-the-art, Industry 4.0-enabled manufacturing and site erection operations.

The delegation included representatives from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Local Government Management Agency, Tipperary County Council, Westmeath County Council, Cork City Council – Comhairle Cathrach Chorcaí, and Cork County Council.

During their visit, our guests explored our highly automated manufacturing plant and later visited a local construction site, where they saw the benefits of Lean principles in action. As part of Enterprise Ireland’s Built to Innovate programme, under the Government’s Housing for All initiative, Cygnum is committed to driving productivity and innovation in residential construction.

We were delighted with the positive feedback from our visitors, particularly on our commitment to delivering sustainable housing at speed and scale.

Their support reinforces our mission to combat the housing crisis with cutting-edge, efficient, and environmentally conscious building solutions.
