A fantastic day last Friday as our team proudly took part in Wear Blue for Hollyblue 💙

It was brilliant to see so many of our office staff getting involved and making the effort to wear blue in support of such an important cause. We also had the pleasure of visiting Hollyblue House, where some of the team enjoyed coffee, cake, and a chance to see firsthand the incredible work being done to support those affected by cancer in our community.

A huge thank you to the committee for their warm hospitality – it was a truly welcoming and uplifting morning.

We were especially honoured to see the unveiling of the beautiful patchwork quilt wall hanging – an amazing piece of craftwork with so much meaning behind it.

Delighted to support Gort Cancer Support and the vital services they provide 💙

All funds raised by our team through the bucket donations will be match funded by the company, with proceeds going directly towards supporting the delivery of services provided by Gort Cancer Support.

A great milestone reached…Phase 1 complete at Ceannt Station, Galway
Over the past few weeks and months especially, there’s been a strong push on site to get this phase over the line, and it’s good to see the result now coming together.
With Platforms 3 and 4 now open, along with new concourse areas and passenger facilities, the project is taking real shape and will make a noticeable difference for those travelling through Galway.
Great to work alongside BAM Ireland as the main contractor and Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail in delivering this phase.
From our side, this one is about the team.
Everyone at Colin Burke Electrical played their part — putting in the time, working through tight deadlines, and pulling together when it counted.
A solid effort all round and a job well done.
More to come as the project progresses.

Re-sharing this as we continue to grow and take on more long-term work across the Midlands.

The demand hasn’t slowed and we’re still looking to bring strong electrical professionals into the team. What’s been especially positive is the consistency of our project pipeline and the ability to offer roles outside the usual Dublin city commute.

We’re Hiring – Electrical Professionals

Due to a strong pipeline of long-term projects in Kildare, Meath, and across the Midlands, we’re expanding our team. Many of our sites are outside the M50, offering accessible locations without the daily traffic congestion of Dublin city.

We’re currently seeking:

to join an established and growing electrical contractor working on well-managed, large-scale, long-term projects.

Why work with us?
✔ Multiple secured, long-term projects

It was with great sadness, we learned of the tragic and unexpected passing of our dear colleague and friend, Patrick Kearney.
Patrick was a devoted husband and father, a loving son and brother, and a loyal and trusted colleague who worked with us at Colin Burke Electrical for almost 20 years. Over those years, he became much more than a colleague, he was a valued member of our work family, known for his professionalism, kindness, reliability, and quiet sense of humour. His contribution to our company and the friendships he built will never be forgotten.
We are deeply saddened by his passing and the loss felt across our team is profound. Patrick’s presence, commitment, and kind nature will leave a lasting mark on all who had the privilege of working with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Niamh and sons Darragh, Conor and Liam, and with the Kearney and Higgins families at this incredibly difficult time. We extend our heartfelt condolences to them and to all who loved Patrick.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
