Dominic Dohery
Construction leader and former CIF President to speak on business growth, community impact, and building the Midlands economy
Business owners, founders, and entrepreneurs are invited to join Founders Friday, an in-person networking event, on Friday, April 4 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Eugene Kelly’s Bar, Tullamore.
This edition welcomes Dominic Doheny, Joint Managing Director of John Flanagan Developments and former President of the Construction Industry Federation (CIF). Dominic will share his unfiltered business story, lessons from decades in construction, and practical insights for business leaders focused on growth.
Dominic is an accomplished businessman and a passionate advocate for the construction industry. With deep roots in the Midlands, Dominic has long championed balanced regional development, pushing for housing, infrastructure, and enterprise investment outside of Dublin.
“Construction is not just about buildings – it's about building communities, economies, and opportunities,” Dominic has said.

During his presidency at CIF, Dominic was a vocal advocate for treating housing as a national priority and empowering regions like Offaly to play a greater role in solving Ireland’s housing challenges.
“We are really excited to have Dominic Doheny speak at our next Founders Friday event,” said David Gleeson, CEO of the Allpro Recruitment group. “Dominic is an inspiring figure — not only for his achievements in construction, but also for his commitment to sustainable business and his belief in the potential of the Midlands.”
“We created Founders Friday to bring together ambitious business leaders to connect, learn, and be inspired by real stories from those who’ve walked the walk,” added Andrea Scally, COO of Allpro Recruitment. “It’s about community, collaboration, and growth.”
