Today 5th and 6th class had the fantastic opportunity to visit the busy factory of Gibney Steel Products, Drumone, Co. Meath. Gibney’s is a family run business  in our local area that designs and manufactures steel products. The children first observed the design process on the computers which is then sent down to the factory floor to be made. They then saw the laser cutting in action and the bending and welding of steel. Many children recognised many products that they themselves have on their farms.

We had a brilliant day being shown the hustle and bustle of an engineering company. We especially loved the surprise of our own steel crest keyring. What a treat!
