"We wish to thank both Kildare County Council and the project team who have entrusted us to deliver the project and we will endeavour to construct in a timely manner and to the highest quality."

St Patrick's Park will undergo significant redevelopment under the Remedial Works Scheme by the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage. The project will be completed on a phased basis over the next two years.
