COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 24, 2017

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"That this Committee asks that the Chief Executive to make enquiries into the feasibility of using the OLD VEC premises in Lucan village as a part-time Mens Shed?"

REPLY:

The Community Team has not yet been contacted by a 'Men's Shed' Group in Lucan regarding support and until the Group is identified it would be premature to look at premises.  The Council continues to support 'Men's Sheds' throughout the County and these are located in a variety of different premises.  Their location depends on the activities planned and numbers involved.  Some are in community centres, GAA clubs and resource centres. 

The Council continues to support a number of 'Men's Sheds' throughout the County and looks forward to supporting a group in Lucan.
