Crisis meeting of Men’s Sheds

A crisis meeting of Men’s Sheds in West Cork will take place next month to discuss why several have closed down and others face an uncertain future.

The concerns follow the announcement by the co-ordinator of the Men’s Shed in Bandon that the project, established in 2012, could be wound up by next autumn unless it receives more support.

If this happens, Bandon will follow the closures in recent years of sheds in Clonakilty, Bantry, and Dunmanway.
