Editor’s COMMENT CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN IRELAND’S PLUMBING & HEATING INDUSTRY A busy few months since our last edition has included Plumbex Dublin and, most recently, Ireland’s Plumbing & Heating Awards 2025. Congratulations to the winners and our thanks to the sponsors and guests supporting the awards, held in Dublin on November 7. It was a fantastic celebration of excellence in the industry, and we hope you all had a great night. We also enjoyed catching up with both old and new faces at Plumbex Dublin back in September. The event was a huge success in its new venue, the National Indoor Arena in Blanchardstown, and will return there over September 9-10, 2026. Before then, Plumbex Limerick will be heading to the UL Sports Arena over March 31 to April 1, 2026 – see p39 for information on how to get your stand booked for Limerick or Dublin and ps96-97 to catch highlights from this year’s Plumbex Dublin. Congratulations to Murphy & Kelly (Thomastown) Ltd on reaching 40 years and MR Mechanical Services a decade in business. Alyson Magee
