At Kilgallen & Partners, our priority is the health and well-being of our people, clients and community. We are therefore applying a balanced and informed approach to COVID-19 in line with current Government advice.

Kilgallen & Partners has robust, secure and fully tested video conferencing and work-from-home arrangements, which have been in place for a number of years. During the current situation we are minimising third party meetings and we will of course work with our customers and partners and respect their wishes on preferred means of contact.

Should it become necessary, all staff can work from home with the same effectiveness as normal and can be contacted via existing office and mobile telephone numbers and email addresses.

Our teams are organised to monitor, review and manage our response to the unfolding situation and the possible impact on our people, office locations, operations and client services. In the event that matters escalate and full office closures are required, we are confident that we can minimise any interruptions to the services we provide to our Clients in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact us in the usual manner.

Work on the new World War 1 memorial for Kilkenny City is now under way and expected to be completed in June 2018.

The memorial will recognise some 825 Kilkenny men and women who lost their lives in the Great War and acknowledge more than 3,000 men and women from Kilkenny who served in the War.

The monument is being developed at the River Nore Linear Park adjacent to Michael Street. Kilgallen & Partners provided detail design services for the project. All plaques, statues, nameplates and capping stones are being cut from Kilkenny Limestone. The works are being completed by John Somers Ltd under contract with Kilkenny County Council.

Hotel Development at 81 & 82 North Wall Quay
Kilgallen and Partners have carried out the temporary works design for this hotel development. The design includes retention of the existing protected brick façade to enable the excavation and construction of a two storey basement and the construction of a 5 storey superstructure, temporary propping of the secant pile basement wall, temporary stability of No. 81 using internal shoring whilst ensuring the protection of the existing building fabric. The temporary works solution includes the use of shipping containers as a façade retention system, which presents a sustainable, reusable solution and has already withstood the force of Hurricane Ophelia. Kilgallen and Partners wish every success to the Client and all involved.

Developer: Oakmount Ltd.
Contractor: Glenbrier Construction Ltd.
