McKeon Stone Ltd

McKeon Stone Limited is a family-owned specialist in Irish limestone, supplying premium building and decorative stone products to clients across Ireland and Europe since 1950. Operating the last remaining Irish-owned dimensional limestone quarry on the island at Threecastles, Kilkenny, the company extracts large, high-quality blocks of Kilkenny Blue (Irish Blue) limestone using modern quarrying technology. These raw stones are then cut, shaped and finished at the company's factory in Stradbally, Co Laois, where bespoke designs are crafted for architects, developers and sculptors alike.

The firm's product range includes dimensional stone for civic infrastructure, street kerbing, fountains, seating and heritage projects, as well as finely finished slabs for sculptural work. Notable installations feature the Apple Campus in Cork, a limestone fountain at Ashford Castle, the Cross of Sacrifice in Glasnevin Cemetery and bespoke seating for Facebook. McKeon Stone also collaborates with sculptors from Ireland and abroad, providing the versatile textures and finishes that make Irish Blue limestone a favourite for artistic expression. Their expertise bridges traditional quarrying heritage with contemporary design, delivering durable, aesthetically striking stone solutions for a global clientele.
