Event Production
in Ireland. Screens,
Stage, Sound, Light.

We build the LED trailers ourselves, we own the stages, the PA and the lighting rig, and our own crew delivers, builds and runs every job. From a club match in Louth to a festival main stage — one supplier, one insurance policy, one number to ring.

What we do

Four disciplines. One team.

Most events in Ireland are assembled from three or four suppliers who have never met, and the joins are where things go wrong. We do all four ourselves.

Event LED Screens

Indoor walls, outdoor builds and mobile trailers from 2m² to 60m². IMAG, delay screens, stage backdrops, scoreboards and sponsor loops.

Stage & Structures

Mobile and modular outdoor stages, indoor decking, risers and dance floors — supplied with the wind-loading and ballast paperwork your licence needs.

Audio Production

Line array and point-source PA, wireless mics, monitors and comms, specified for the room or the field rather than pulled off a shelf.

Lighting & Visuals

Stage lighting, architectural and festoon, plus content design — running orders, sponsor reels and holding slides built by our own studio.

Why it matters

The joins are where events go wrong

Nobody rings you the week before to say the stage deck is 200mm too low for the screen frame, because the stage company and the screen company have never spoken.

We own both. And the PA, and the lights. That is the whole argument, and it is the reason clubs, councils and festival committees keep coming back.

The usual way

  • Screen from one firm, stage from another, PA from a third
  • Three site visits, three method statements, three invoices
  • Nobody owns the bit where the screen meets the stage
  • Kit subcontracted in, so nobody on site knows it
  • On the day, four numbers to ring and no one in charge

The DSD way

  • Screen, stage, sound and lighting from one supplier
  • One site visit, one RAMS, one insurance cert, one invoice
  • The joins are ours, so the joins are our problem
  • Our own kit, maintained by the people who rig it
  • One named crew chief, on site, all day
Where we work

From a parish hall to a festival field

A dozen kinds of event, and several of them — agricultural shows, St Patrick’s Day parades, homecomings, Christmas switch-ons — that no other Irish supplier is even talking about. They are half our calendar.

The fleet

Every screen, published
in metres and amps

No other Irish supplier publishes a full spec sheet. If you are drawing a site plan, applying for a licence or working out whether you need a generator, the numbers should be on the website — not behind a phone call.

Brightness, power draw, ground footprint, crew and rig time for every screen are on the hire page.

How it works

Four steps, one working day

No discovery call, no three-week wait, no “price on application” that goes nowhere. You have a date; we have a fleet and a diary.

1

Tell us the date and the venue

One form, one working day. The more you tell us, the closer the first number lands.

2

A fixed quote with the paperwork attached

Price, spec, insurance certificate, RAMS and wind-loading — sent together, unasked.

3

Site visit or site plan review

For anything outdoors or over 12m² we walk the site, or work from your drawing.

4

We rig, we run it, we take it away

Our crew, our kit, our insurance, and one named contact for the whole job.

Paperwork

The pack that gets your licence signed off

If you are a council, a festival committee, a GAA county board or a school, the screen is the easy part. The paperwork is what stops the booking — and no screen hire company in Ireland publishes any of it. We send the whole pack with the quote, before you ask.

Insurance, named to your event

€6.5m public liability and €13m employers’ liability certificates, issued naming your event and venue.

RAMS written for your site

Not a template. A risk assessment and method statement for your ground, your access and your crowd, ready for the licence application.

Wind loading and ballast

Calculated for the screen, the structure and the exposure at your venue, with structural certification for flown and ground-support builds.

Recent work

Named venues, real specifications

Anyone can put up a wall of logos. Here is what was actually supplied, and why.

Racing

Naas Racecourse

Screens supplied and installed for raceday information, results and sponsor rotation across the enclosure.

Cinema

Arc Cinema, Meath

Front-of-house digital display and menu screens across the foyer and concessions.

Automotive

Volkswagen Ireland Showrooms

Showroom display network rolled out across dealer sites with centrally managed content.

Add a fourth card here for your best event job — a festival, a county final or a parade — with the screen size and a line from the organiser. That is the card that sells this page.

Questions

Asked before every booking

Do you publish prices?
No — a day rate that covers a trailer in a town square and a flown wall in a marquee is wrong for both. What we do publish is the full screen spec, and exactly what sits inside a quote and what sits outside it. You get a fixed number inside one working day, without chasing us.
How far in advance should I book?
For June to August — festival and show season — six to eight weeks, because the trailers book out. Outside that a fortnight is usually enough, and we take short-notice jobs whenever the fleet allows. Holding a date costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Can you cover Northern Ireland?
Yes. We are in Dundalk, twenty minutes from the border, and we work both sides of it routinely. We quote in euro or sterling, whichever suits your committee.
Do you do the whole event, or just the screen?
Either. Plenty of people book a screen alone and bring their own production. But screen, stage, PA and lighting from one crew is where we are genuinely different — one site visit, one method statement, one invoice.
What happens if the weather turns?
Rain does not stop an outdoor screen; the panels are IP65 front and back. Wind does. Every rig has a stated wind limit for your site and the screen lowers if it is passed. Cancellation and date-move terms are written into the booking, not decided on the day.
Get a quote

Tell us about the event

This asks a bit more than the usual name-and-number, because we would rather send you a real quote than a call-back request. Fill in what you know and leave the rest.

You will get back: a fixed quote, the spec, the insurance certificate, the RAMS and the wind-loading — inside one working day.

In a hurry? Ring 042 935 9400 and ask for the events desk.

Got a date in the diary?

Send us the date and the venue. You will have a quote, a spec and the safety pack inside a working day — and holding a date costs you nothing.
