The Keohane family have been involved in the construction industry with three generations. Keohane Construction Ltd. A company primarily involved in the farming sector, was taken over by Paddy Keohane in the late 1970s. In 1979, Paddy founded Keohane Readymix Ltd. in response to a shortage of quality readymix concrete for the construction industry in West Cork. Today, the Keohane group has two readymix plants at Ballygurteen and Innishannon, three sand stone quarries at Dunmanway, Clonakilty and Innishannon plus a very progressive construction company.
