Ireland boasts one of top ‘shedder’ movements worldwide, AGM hears

Men in their 50s feel most comfortable in their sheds, with 2,000 “shedders” taking regular solace in their back gardens.

Ireland now boasts one of the strongest shed movements in the northern hemisphere and can lead by example, the AGM of the Irish Men’s Sheds Association heard at the weekend.

Fittingly, the 260 representatives (70% of whom are aged over 50) of sheds, north and south, held their conference in sheds in Killarney, Co Kerry.
