1st Year Construction Management Students Site Visit

As part of the first year induction the Construction Management students went on a site visit to a social housing development in Tallaght, Dublin. This is the second year that this visit has taken place and is an integral part of the first year induction. The visit was a great success mainly due to the enthusiastic participation of the staff of MDY Construction Jason Nolan, Stephen Redmond and John McKeever. Each of them gave very informative talks to the students and the feedback from the students was very positive. I have attached the link of the top two blogs that were created by the students. A presentation will take place in November to the students with the highest graded blog.

The winning blog was constructed by Aidan O’Kelly, Alan Southern, Martin Murphy, and Rob Breslin.
