Broadening our Horizons
At Skyway, we are always on the lookout for new
opportunities, new ventures, new products, new services and
new horizons for developing and expanding our company
and our expertise.
In 2010, we worked on a number of projects outside Ireland
and already, all the indications are that the Skyway logo will
feature on other projects in other overseas locations in 2011.
Our qualifications and our expertise are well up to
international standards. And with completed projects in
England, Scotland, Wales, Spain and Germany, we are
looking forward to expanding our horizons in the coming
year.

Proudly Looking Up to a
Challenging Future There is no question about it, these
are challenging times for all of us. It‟s
at times like these when „quality‟ and
„service‟ are hugely important to the
welfare of a company.
These are two areas which Skyway
has always held in top priority and
over the years we have invested
heavily in developing our skills,
our products and services in these
key areas for success.
The results have been hugely positive
for both our company and our
customers alike:
Our customers have received a
quality of service which is second to
none anywhere, backed with a level of
engineering expertise and a „Safety at
Heights‟ record that we are all very
proud of.
While Skyway has continued to grow
and expand our services both at home
and overseas, our challenge for the coming
year is to continue our track record of growth
by offering our clients the best service at height
available anywhere. We feel we are ideally
positioned to meet that challenge.

Danger is always
about – don’t take
risks while working at
height!
Roofer awarded €1.6m after
brain injury fall
A roofer who suffered a brain injury
when he fell through a roof-light,
yesterday got €1.6m in High Court
damages.
Carl Cunningham (29) of Church Road,
East Wall, Dublin, plunged 12ft in the
accident, which happened on July 5th
,
2004, when he was working on the roof
of Loreto Abbey Secondary School,
Dalkey, Co. Dublin.
It was alleged the defendants failed to
have sufficient regards for his safety and
provided a dangerous workplace.

Worker dies in fall from roof
A man died yesterday after falling from a
roof of a chicken plant.
The victim hadn‟t been named by last
night, pending notification of his family
and other relatives.
It is understood, however, that he is from
the West of Ireland and had been
working for the Western Brand chicken
plant in Ballyhaunis, Co. Mayo, for a
number of years.
The scene of the accident at the company
plant at Knock Road, Ballyhaunis, was
sealed off as Gardai began a preliminary
investigation into the accident, which
occurred at around 1.50pm. The Health
and Safety Authority is also
investigating.
