The strength of the men's sheds is probably in the national organisation and the whole network it has. I was not aware that there were men's sheds outside of it. I had the same experience as the Deputy. I do not know if it was the same one but representatives from one men's shed in west Cork contacted to me to say they were not in it. I encouraged them to join the national association because they get the supports there. I do not know why they are outside it. Our plan is to continue to work with the national organisation.
