As part of Killarnée's ongoing commitment to support community youth organisations and more especially those that offer backing or programmes that subsquently present opportunities to young adults with disabilities we would like to showcase our endeavours by way of our open day. Paul has invested quite heavily to this project both physically and financially to ensure all are happy in their new home. The weather was perfect for the day, with a massive turn out, including a special award being presented to Paul & Elma for their constant and ongoing support to Variety ' The Childrens Charity.' The Variety Youth Choir and Shine Performance Group performed on the day leaving everyone either speechless, or in tears with their incredible performance!
Thanks to all involved, a great day was had by all!
Being run for the first time in 2010, Killarnée Targa South West was a non-competitive, timed event which also provided existing crews with the opportunity to shakedown vehicles and get more time in the car to test various options.
Killarnée Targa South West was also the debut of the new Killarnée sponsored team, Team Green Motorsport. Team Manager Mitch Thompson had this to say about the first event of 2010 for Team Green.

Within two weeks of mobilising to the Karara site, Killarnee have already poured several substantial bases for the boremills. A special mention to NRW for their expertise in the bulk and detailed earthworks, which have allowed Killarnee to make an excellent start on the project. Below are some of the photos of the Killarnee crew at work..
Long time sponsor of the Variety Youth Choir, Killarnée, has been recognised with a 2010 Corporate Award from Variety International.
Killarnée was one of just six companies worldwide to receive the Award, presented for outstanding contribution to Variety.
Since pledging their support in 2006, Killarnée’s Paul and Elma Thompson have gone above and beyond in their commitment to the Choir, funding uniforms, musical and dance tuition, a DVD and album recording just to name a few.
This month, Killarnée will give the Choir a new home, after purpose building a rehearsal and recording studio within their Malaga premises. It is this sense of selfishness and generosity that makes Killarnée most worthy of this award.

May 2010 - Saw Killarnée being invited to CB&I Plainfield’s operations in Chicago for discussion of future works; with Killarnée being responsible for the civil components, the formwork, concrete, reinforcing and earthworks to any future projects. Also on the agenda were discussions of teaming agreements.
Killarnée’s managing director, Paul “Irish” Thompson said the trip was very constructive.
“It proved to be a very productive and positive experience, which can only assist Killarnée in their development as a professional civil and construction company.”
Appreciation to CBI for continued faith in Killarnée’s ‘product’.
Special mention to Ross Adame, Al Garza and Alan Styles for the opportunity to tender on CBI’s future works.
