home owners to know their bottom line and in turn maximise their home heating with the absolute minimum of fuss and expense. Offering energy efficiency at an affordable price, Cosihomes Insulation Solutions is one of the most impressive new companies to emerge in the Royal County in the past decade and one gets the distinct impression that there are a few more chapters remaining to be written in this particular success story. Before the recession effectively debilitated the entire construction sector, Derchil was one of the largest plastering contractors in Ireland. Six years ago, while he was taking stock and planning his next move, Dermot spotted the opportunity of diversifying into the area of retrofit insulations; his new company – which is not only the biggest external insulation contractor in the Republic of Ireland but also the only one to be ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 accredited – is fully sustainable and environmentally-friendly. Their quality of work is widely recognised as the best available and Cosihomes is at the very cutting edge of its chosen field of expertise. For this reason, coupled with the affordability of the service and the subsequent savings to be made, they benefit from an extremely large number of referrals. As well as private homes, Cosihomes also works on schemes for local authorities and the founder’s attitude has always been that no job is ever considered too big or too small. All enquiries are welcome! A substantial employer, Dermot Byrne provides direct employment to some 80 people as well as a large number of indirect employees. Cosihomes is a member of Éasca, which was formed to promote sustainable building in Ireland and to facilitate positive change in order to mainstream sustainable building practices. All members of Éasca are companies which pledge to work for the betterment of the environment and to carry out appropriate quality-assured procedures.

Dermot played football for the local St Brides GFC during the ‘70s and ‘80s. Nephew of the former famous Louth player, Micheal (Huckle) Byrne, he relocated to the Royal County in 1991 after spending a few years in England. His son Conor lines out for the Ratoath U16s and Dermot is a big supporter of the local GAA club, noting: “It’s a growing club and there’s a lot happening there. They are going very well. There are a lot of very dedicated lads working in Ratoath and you can’t but admire them. I’d go down to the pitch when I get a chance to watch Dermot Rooney putting the lads through their paces. It’s a fantastic club and it’s only natural to support them in any way you can.” For further information on insulation, grants or for a noobligation, free consultation drop in to the Cosihomes showroom in Ashbourne Business Park or use the contact details below.
