Locals encouraged to attend men's shed health evening

Lough Ree Men’s Shed, in association with the HSE, are hosting a special Men’s Health evening locally on this Friday (June 19).

The information evening, which includes free health checks, is being held as part of Men's Health Week 2026, and takes place at St Brigid's GAA clubhouse from 7pm to 9pm.

There will be a host of health related stands alongside three presentations: from pharmacist Damien McDonnell (on drug related matters), chartered physiotherapist Simon Greene (on the benefits of activity and movement), and clinical psychologist Padraig Collins, who will outline practical tips for mental fitness and well-being, and discuss what services exist locally for those who may need additional

assistance in this area. The Lough Ree Men's Shed has asked people to encourage 'the men in your life' to attend this information evening.
