Denis McCarthy, Director, BAM Ireland said: "We have worked hard to become a part of the local communities of Dublin 8 and Dublin 12 and have witnessed the mutual benefits that our continued cooperation and support has brought to the local community, local business, our own operations and people. I would like to thank the Community Benefit Oversight Group, who have assisted us in establishing the scope of BAM's Community Benefit Fund for the New Children's Hospital."
