Construct Ireland takes its Christmas holidays from today, we'll be back on January 4. The next issue of the magazine hasn't gone to the printers yet but will do early in January - it'll contain articles on various retrofit projects, the ESB's home insulation scheme, a striking new low-energy build in Sligo, international green buildings and a huge profile of the Cloughjordan ecovillage project in Tipperary, among much else.

Here a few links to keep you going until then. Happy Christmas.
