About McGrath Limestone Cong
McGraths Limestone (Cong) Ltd is a 100% family owned & operated company with over 60 years experience in the business.
Quarrying started in the Cong area in the 1950’s due to the introduction of the subsidy for the haulage of Ground Limestone for agricultural purposes. Mr Michael McGrath Snr, father of the current owners, purchased the quarry in the early 60’s from the Glynn family on an area of about 7 acres.
The quarry has grown today to approximately 180 acres. Michael McGrath Snr produced only Limestone from the quarry up until his sudden death in 1970 at the age of 49. His wife Mary McGrath ran the business for a period of three years until Michael and John Joe took over its running which continues to this present day.
The business has expanded and grown every since, firstly it extended to the manufacturing of stone and aggregates for the building trade and local County Councils. In 1982 the company began producing ready mix concrete and concrete blocks and in 1995 saw the quarry exporting Weathered Limestone Rockery stone to mainland England where it is widely used by gardening centres and local authorities for landscaping purposes. Again in 1998 saw the company expanding as McGraths purchased a modern Asphalt Manufacturing Plant. Production, contract laying and civil engineering projects are all now a feature of McGraths Limestone.

Our product is tested twice annually by the Dept. Of Agriculture, Food & Marine which in turn provides us with a license to sell the product. We are also members of the GLPA (Ground Limestone Producers Association) and a registered supplier of the Grolime certified trademark. We supply, deliver and spread in the Connacht region.
Grolime Scotland | Premium High-Calcium Agri Lime
Premium high-calcium limestone from Ireland’s leading producer – now available direct from our Scottish depot in Dunfermline.
Across Scotland, farmers are seeing the results of switching to Grolime – faster pH lift, improved sward quality, and stronger livestock performance. With higher purity and calcium content, Grolime enhances soil structure, releases locked up nutrients and promotes healthy clover and root development.
Hen & Poultry Grit
Hydrated Blend Cubicle Lime (15/30%)
Farmcal Hydrated Blend Cubicle Lime is for use in livestock stalls. It is designed to provide high levels of protection against bacteria. The blend of high calcium limestone and hydrated lime will inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, will aid the prevention of environmental mastitis whilst raising the PH value of farm effluents.
