€100,000 in funding was announced by Minister Heather Humphreys
Kildare Women's Sheds will receive between €1,000 and €2,000 under a new funding initiative announced.
The initiative is the first of its kind and is in recognition of the fact that there is a growing number of Women’s Sheds across the country.
Unlike Men’s Sheds, Women’s Sheds do not currently operate under a single national representative body, which makes it more difficult for them to avail of supports such as Government funding.
Chair of the Oireachtas Womens Caucus and Fianna Fáil Senator Fiona O’Loughlin has welcomed the announcement by her Government colleagues of €100,000 in funding for womens sheds.
Senator O’Loughlin commented: “I have been working and supporting Newbridge womens shed and others around South Kildare, and was delighted to welcome the ladies from Newbridge to Leinster House this week.”
“In the chamber I called for better funding and supports for what is a fantastic initiative.
"I was pleased to see that my calls were listened to and that €100,000 has been made available to support women's sheds around the country," she said.
Any women's shed interested in applying should contact womenssheds@drcd.gov.ie
