Hi guys,

Love the blog...
As I built Fitzgerald Construction Website and also promoting the company on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fitzgerald-Construction-Ltd/194277973933481?sk=wall) I was wondering if there will be any updates etc?

Have a nice day!

Hi Anna,

for some strange reason google locked us out of the blog and we were no longer able to get back to update it!
I've tried everything but no joy with any contact I made to them.
Ask Kieran for my email address and I'd be happy to let you know the updates and anything else you need to know.
Cheers,
Tanya
