We are excited to share news about a project close to our hearts: the restoration of Ballyglunin Train Station. This iconic site, made famous in the classic film The Quiet Man, is undergoing a transformation that marries heritage preservation with climate-conscious innovation.

A Collaborative Effort for Sustainability

This ambitious project is made possible through a partnership between Celtic Dynamics, Galway County Council, and the Climate Action Project. Together, we are striving to ensure that Ballyglunin Train Station not only remains a cherished landmark but also evolves to meet the environmental challenges of today.

What’s Happening at Ballyglunin?

Our work is focused on key areas that blend restoration with sustainability:

• Renders: Murphy Plastering & Maintenance are updating the station’s exterior to preserve its historic charm while ensuring durability for the future. 

• Windows: With the expertise of Window Seal Ltd, we’re restoring and insulating the windows to improve energy efficiency while maintaining the station’s original character.

• Insulation: We’ll also be insulating the station, ensuring a greener and more sustainable future for this beloved site.

These enhancements will not only preserve the station’s aesthetic appeal but also reduce its carbon footprint, aligning with our shared commitment to sustainable development.
