Connemara Cottages is part of a Holleran Family Tradition in Building. It is a combination of Family talent and hard work handed down from one generation to another. From days when the basic one-roomed shell of stone were all that a family could afford, to the present day where old has moulded with new to result in high quality housing that has the spirit of the past interlinked with the superb craftsmanship essential for these developments in an area where Irish is still the first language. With the guidance of his father and grandfather behind him, John Joe Holleran began building at 14 - learning all the "new ways" and how to blend them with the past to form a unique state of excellence. Now working with his sons beside him the family gift will now be passed on to another generation.
