Flourishing women's shed movement denied Government funding
Currently, there are more than 450 men’s sheds in the country, with an estimated 12,000 attendees each week. About 120 women's sheds are also now in place.
Ireland has more men’s sheds per capita in Ireland any other country in Europe, but women are catching up with a growing interest in the movement countrywide.
There are even growing expectations women’s sheds may soon have a national representative body of their own, just like the men's sheds are community-based projects where people can come together to learn, share skills, make friends or just have a chat over a cup of tea.
