Joe Carey (FG), Clare

The Irish men's sheds movement has been in existence for the past ten years, and over that period a network of 360 sheds has been established the length and breadth of the country. There are 11 in my constituency, in County Clare. Men's sheds offer a really important social outlet for men, offering them a collaborative space in which to meet. They are very valuable. They can work with their communities. Today the Irish Men's Sheds Association held a briefing ahead of its pre-budget submission. It is time the Government provided adequate supports and measures for this really important grassroots organisation. There is a commitment in the programme for Government to do that, and I ask the Taoiseach to support that and to prioritise the Irish Men's Sheds Association in the budget talks.
