What they said about us in the Irish Times
"ANN MARIE HOURIHANE

IT IS A freezing Monday morning on the outskirts of Athy, in Co Kildare. About half a dozen men are already gathered in a unit of an industrial estate. The other units are quiet. This is the local “men’s shed”. "
What they say about us online
Lisa Delaney of the Leinster Leader talks about the shed on her blog and into the pager .
What they say about us on the Radio
Clem and Mick talk about the shed on KFM radio

When RTE came to the shed .
They have scheduled to broadcast what they filmed in November

And we've have friends from afar too ,
Sudan , Turkey and Kilkenny ,
Our shed has welcomed groups from all over.

One of the best things we've become known for is our infamous  Saussage Saturday .

Most Saturdays , the lads will bring in some saussages , rashers , pudding etc, and thats when we fix the worlds problems , from how the golf went , to who should of being sin binned on the Rugby pitch ,  to which politician should be hung drawn and quatered .

ocassionally we just yack about serious stuff too
