My Department is providing a range of supports in 2019 which Men’s Sheds can avail of.
Earlier this year, I announced a special ring-fenced fund under the Community Enhancement Programme
(CEP) for Men's and Women's Sheds. This provided €0.5 million for Sheds to carry out minor capital works or to purchase equipment. The amount allocated to County Clare under this ring-fenced fund was €11,780 which supported 10 sheds.
In addition, depending on the project being completed, the Sheds were eligible to apply for other grant programmes funded by my Department, including the main Community Enhancement Programme under which €139,257 was allocated to County Clare.
