Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary has today announced a funding package to support Men’s Sheds across the country.
The funding contribution for this year, together with funding provided by the Department last year, will enable the Irish Men’s Sheds Association to distribute up to €1 million in supports to their members with grants of up to €3,000 available.
The funding is designed to assist Men’s Sheds with their running and operational costs such as heating, utility and insurance bills.
The emergence of Men’s Sheds has been a very positive development for communities across Ireland and this Government is fully committed to the continued support of Men’s Sheds in the valuable work they do.
Minister Calleary has been giving more details to Midwest Radio’s Michael D. McAndrew.
