Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 March 2013
243. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health if he will support the programme for advancing the health and well-being of men's health called The Men's Shed Movement (details supplied) which has been very successful in Australia. [14418/13]
View answerOver the past two years I have awarded National Lottery Funding to several organisations who wished to establish "Men's Sheds." Should an organisation wish to make an application for National Lottery Funding they should submit a formal application to my Department. Detailed procedures, along with the necessary application form are set out on my Department's website: www.doh.ie
I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy in the matter of HSE funding for "Men's Sheds."
