Construct and Connect Breakfast - Dublin Edition

First WICI breakfast morning a huge success!

Absolutely incredible morning at the networking event in Dublin on 13th January 2025. It was amazing to see so many like-minded individuals in one room. A huge thank you to Natalie Ryan from The Lighthouse Charity for her insightful discussion on the services available to women in the industry.

When we started
Women in Construction in Ireland (WICI), all we knew was that we wanted to help; to help ensure women were heard, and ensure they were being encouraged and supported. One woman at the event in Dublin approached us and thanked us for organising it—she’s the only woman in her company and felt the event was exactly what she needed. She said it made her day easier, and to us, that’s what these networking events are all about.

We may not be able to improve the industry overnight, but we can certainly support one another. Thank you to everyone who attended! Galway and Dundalk are next on the list, let me know if you're interested in coming!
